Fort Lauderdale Tuna Fishing

Right now we are catching a ton of blackfin tuna in Fort Lauderdale.  The key to our success has been scheduling our trips in the early morning and late afternoon because blackfin tuna like low light conditions.  The tuna can't get enough of our live pilchards on our kites and free lines.  We try to put as many baits as possible in the water when we are tuna fishing because tuna are always moving and we want to maximize our chances of one taking our bait.  We are catching smaller to medium size blackfins right off shore in Fort Lauderdale, but the bigger ones are usually found on the edge at a depth of about 140 feet.  Chumming the water can also help draw and keep schools of dolphin within a close proximity to the fishing boat.  We like to keep a bottle of soy sauce right on the boat because there is nothing better then fresh tuna sashimi.  If you decide to to cook it.  We recommend adding sesame seeds to the steaks then searing both sides keeping the interior cold and red.
