Default Re: The mighty elusive Bluefin tuna.

So what's the drill to try and catch these beasts inshore? You spot the fish, try and stay with or ahead of them and cast Poppers with specialized spinning gear??

Is trolling or anchoring up and chunking/live lining not productive?? I've heard many a story of people catching them regularly this time of year in the 70s and 80s in the Mudhole and even a story or 2 of them showing up at the Shrewsbury Rocks Would be fun to give it a shot one day but I'm sure you need the right gear and an experienced crew to land one.

I can just imagine casting a popper for Stripers, getting hit by one and just watch your reel get smoked
