Interested but need to know more please.

newt once posted a link for a fantastic site which was www.worldwidefishing.com (I think). There were loads of tuna boats off the easern seaboard of the US, and I am sure the skippers would be happy to help.

Also, any time, I am up for that.

Darth,

 

There’s some interesting info regarding British tuna Fishing on this site: http//www.sea-fishing.com/uk/unusual/articles/tuna/shtml

 

I’ve always been fascinated with UK Tuna since I saw an old film clip of Edwardian anglers (I think) been towed around Scarborough Bay in there purpose built boats by very large tuna.

 

If it can be organised I’m up for an experimental trip or six next year.

 

Please keep me posted
