January 2013 Bluefin Fishing

 
Posted by Picasa
If you have never fished for Bluefin or maybe never thought to fish for Bluefin read the following and it just might change your mind.  Atlantic bluefin are native to both the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Atlantic bluefin have become extinct in the Black Sea.

Atlantic bluefin tuna may exceed 450 kilograms (990 lb) in weight, and rival the blue marlin and swordfish as the largest order of vertebrates. Throughout recorded history, the Atlantic bluefin tuna has been highly prized as a food fish. Besides their commercial value as food, the great size, speed, and power they display has attracted the admiration of fishermen, writers, and scientists.

The Atlantic bluefin tuna has been the foundation of one of the world's most lucrative commercial fisheries. Medium-sized and large individuals are heavily targeted for the Japanese raw fish market, where all bluefin species are highly prized for sushi and sashimi.

We are busy doing some yearly maintenance on the boat and are eager to start fishing. Now is the time that the Bluefin Tuna start showing up.

11/11/12: Tuna and Dolphin


This weekend was one of the prettiest weekends we have had since the storms rolled through. It started off on Saturday; the first day we were able to make it out since the last Nor'easter. The fishing was a little bit slow. We did managed to catch a handful of Tuna's but Sunday turned out to be a much better day for fishing with a nice catch of Tuna's and Dolphin.
