Tuna questions for a new guy...

[shocker]

heh.

no real meaning, years ago (4+) my buddy gave me a username at a forum, shocker. I used it and have subsequently decided to just use it as my forum handle since I'm not real creative.

Thanks for the welcome, any tuna insight?

Ok,
1st thing I thought of is as the younger guys I work with describe
"giving a shocker"

Best advice I can give as far as tuna fishing is
Start Early !!!
We usually leave the dock by 3:00 am.
And once the fleet show up (some days I have counted more than 60 boats) Leave and get away from the crowd!

thanks!

yeah, we got there while it was still dark out, and never had any other boats to contend with, luckily, but I think our bigger issues are technique. if this casting thing works at all...and if we DO switch to trolling, what to we should use and where we should troll.

Welcome to the addictive game of tuna fishing. The advice I can give you is go early, go often. All the above mentioned methods work. Some better than others. Running and gunning for tuna is fun and frustrating. In my opinion pulling bars is the best way to catch numbers of fish. For giants nothing beats live bait. 10 mph or knots is way to fast. Good luck out there.
