The smallest of all
tunas, blackfin tuna
rarely reach 30
pounds. They are
found in the warmer
waters of the western Atlantic. They can be caught
offshore, but they will also move inshore and stack up
along reefs and ridges where there is plenty of bait fish.
Catching Blackfin Tuna
Blackfin tuna are usually caught by accident while fishing
for other types of fish such as marlin and larger kinds of
tuna. Any lures intended for billfish and big tuna will also
catch these blackfin tuna. Trolling skirts and spoons, jigs,
and trolling feathers are all effective for catching blackfin
tuna. Trolling and chumming will work for catching these
fish. They are one of the best-tasting tunas available.
