If you want to do tuna fishing, you should have the right spirit and mindset, sufficiently organized and determined to succeed. Otherwise you may shoot yourself in the foot. It is also suggested that you acquire the required knowledge about this fishing and also about the fish because it is a tough job. They are a popular salt-water fish variety. Usually, tuna fish prefer to live in warm waters. During warm seasons like summer and during hot weather conditions, they prefer to live on the surface of the seas. So it becomes easy to catch tuna fish during such seasons and climates. But in winter and cold weather conditions, they go deep into the seas and this makes it difficult to catch them during such weather conditions and seasons.
Some of the varieties of tuna fish have been commercially over-exploited and many nations have banned fishing such varieties like bluefin tuna fish. At present, there is awareness among hunters that they should not over-exploit any variety of tuna fish and hence they are adopting caution while doing tuna fishing.
Tuna fish swim quite fast and hence catching them becomes all the more difficult. You should bear in mind a few facts before you venture out on tuna fishing so that you will get a reasonably good catch.
- As said earlier, during summer months and warm climates, it is easy to catch tuna fish because they live near the surface of the seas. So, it is better if you choose such climatic conditions for going for tuna fishing.
- The presence of diving birds is an indication that shows that tuna fish are available somewhere nearby. Diving birds will be in full action if they find bait fish and so you can conclude that tuna fish will also be there close by.
- Tuna fish like to be follow the company of their bigger brothers like whales and sharks. So wherever you see whales and sharks, you can attempt tuna fishing there and you may certainly succeed in getting a good catch.
- While you are trolling for tuna fish, your speed should not exceed 5 to 8 miles per hour. Trolling should be done adopting a W pattern because only then, you will be able to trick the tuna fish. They will mistake your baits as a bait fish and fall a prey to them.
- Your equipment to catch the tuna fish must be fitting and appropriate. Tuna fish are tenacious in nature and they will give a tough fight while you attempt to catch them. Hence if your fishing equipment are weak, they will be broken. Further, weak equipments may cause severe injury to you also. Experts suggest that you should use a two speed trolling reel, a robust and strong reel and rod for doing your tuna fishing.
- It is also suggested that you should hook your bait sideways. You should also leave at least 100 yards of your line behind the boat. If you observe a slackness in the line, you can construe that the tuna fish is approaching your boat.
