Old Orchard Beach  fishing charters  

 

 

SCHOOL BLUE FIN TUNA

 

Within the last 4 years we have seen an influx of small tuna in the 30-60 lb range.  These fish  have really gotten my blood pressure to rise.  We spent the first two years pulling our hair out  trying to get these extremely finicky fish that have superb vision to bite our baits.  After a few years of trial and error  we know what it takes to catch them.  The methods we will utilize to boat these fish will include trolling, live bait and casting lures with spinning gear to get these speed demons. Our preferred method will be sight fishing for them. What we will do is look   for tuna that are actively feeding , which is an incredible sight to see. We will ease up into these fish and cast lures to them,  when we hook-up you'd better hang on.  The line will start  singing off the real and the fight is on.  It is such an adrenalin rush.  A typical fight will be no less then 30 minutes and can go on for hours.  They are an extremely hard fighting fish that can swim in excess of 40 mph,  Some experts believe they can reach bursts in excess of 60 mph.  These charters will cost a few more dollars then a striper or bluefish charter due to the amount of gas we will have to use and the cost of the gear being used.  Just to give you and example the line on one spinning reel costs about $80.  We will limit these charters to 3 people. I also feel that everyone needs to know that this isn't a fishery that you will catch a lot of fish and if you boat 1 or 2 fish in a charter that is considered a good day.  The fish aren't always in the area and I will only run these trips when the odds are stacked in our favor.
