bluefin

All fish under 65 lbs are released. These 2 were 145 and 160 lbs...

Lots of bluefin tuna action these days... Only a few big game charter days remain available for September. Give us a shout.

Here's some action on my boat last year: Enjoy

I average 1 blue fin tuna per day. 100 to 150lbs common, a few 500lbs fish caught every year, current record over 650 There's less than a dozen captains that have the knowledge of how to catch them so you need to be with the right one.

Landing lots of really good sized tuna these days. Ranging from 120 to 250 lbs. A few days are still available for fishing in August and September...

Hi and welcome !

Apart from tuna, amberjack, dentex, swordfish and sailfish can also be caught in Croatia...

Tuna in the Adriatic have made a great recovery over the last 3 years, from the brink of disaster. Good news for all !

30-50 shimano exage - brilliant action and quality !

Wise words, the btf I catch usually strip 200-300 yards in 10-15 seconds...

I use owner circle hooks for bft. Size from 7/0 for sardines to 12/0 for mackerel. They ensure the tuna is hooked right in the scissors

Great bait! I use them for trolling for amberjack and dentex in the adriatic...

Lotta sushi there

Up to 400 pounds cash waiting depending on condition.

Gonna need a big pan for that baby

Are there any bft charters operating in Ireland at present?

Can't beat the fight a bft puts up! I never caught them jigging. I always drift fish for them with plenty of sardines going overboard. They grow quite big in the Adriatic where I'm based, up to 600lbs! ATB

I went shark fishing many times out of Looe. I recommend it!

That's some scary stuff right there

WOW! It's usually the whales that chase the giant squid...

It beats what Balotelli gets up to

I'm after quality FC 100 and 130lbs. Does any one know of a place where it can be bought in the UK? Cheers
