Maine is not renowned for having a varied tuna population, with the bluefin being the only native species. However, are highly sought after, particularly due to their immense size, power and swimming abilities. Once hooked, few fish will provide as big a challenge as a several hundred pound bluefin tuna.

As their name suggests, bluefin tuna have a dark blue coloring on top, graduating to silver along their sides and belly. Bluefin tuna have two , a single anal fin and numerous partial fins along its back and underside. Their bodies built for speed, with a streamlined shape and powerful tail. Bluefin tuna are renowned for their speed and power, giving anglers lucky enough to hook one the fight of a lifetime. In terms of size, large adult bluefin can reach lengths of up to twelve feet and tip the scales at well over one thousand pounds. More typical examples are around the eight foot mark and weigh in at nearer six hundred pounds.

Large bluefin tuna are fairly solitary fish, often traveling alone or in very small, dispersed groups. Smaller bluefin's tend to travel in schools which may contain anywhere up to forty fish. Bluefin tuna are , and are typically found off the coast of Maine between early summer and late fall. The best months for fishing are reputed to be between August and October.

Bluefin tuna can be caught using a variety of methods, with trolling and baitfish both widely successful. Popular baits for both techniques include squid and mackerel. Chumming with herring is also popular, particularly later in the season when attempting to land bigger fish. Given the size and power of these fish, heavy duty equipment is required to land them. Custom-built, harnessed rods coupled with 130 class reels and 200 lines are not uncommon, and will suffice for the majority of bluefin present in Maine's waters.

Catching a big bluefin tuna is largely about being in the right place at the right time. Tuna can be found at any distance from the shore, though the majority of chartered vessels travel some ten to thirty miles off the coast. Bluefin tuna can be found throughout Maine's waters, though there are popular locations such as Jeffrey's Ledge which are favored by many anglers.

In many parts, bluefin tuna are considered to be the ultimate game fish. Their large size coupled with the ability to swim at speeds approaching fifty miles an hour makes the bluefin tuna an exciting prospect for anglers. Add to that several-hour long fights, and you have probably the ultimate fishing challenge available in Maine. Ronald Moody has been an avid fisherman for 40 years.

The area is world famous for its saltwater fishing.

One well known fisherman is Captain Keith Harlan who fishes the Mega Bite out of Virginia Beach. He has fished local waters from the Eastern Shore, Chesapeake Bay, and Virginia Beach to Cape Hatteras for over 30 years. Captain Keith's vast fishing experience also includes the waters of Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, Bermuda, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Key West.

In the summer months, offshore fishing from Virginia Beach is excellent. Captain Keith described Virginia offshore fishing saying, "Nothing is etched in stone with fishing around here but chasing yellowfin tuna thru much of the summer is our main activity". These tuna like deeper water for the most part, often being caught in water from 30 to . "We watch the satellite shots to get a general idea of how far north or south the tuna are" explained the Captain.

Fishing spots include the , Cigar, Weather Buoy, Wayne's World and others. These hotspots range up to 75 miles out of Rudee Inlet. In addition to yellowfin tuna, anglers catch bluefin, bigeye, skipjack and longfin , , wahoo, billfish and sharks.

Of interest to many anglers are the trips that reach the Norfolk Canyon. Just before reaching the canyon walls are slopes that are often very productive areas. Near the canyon walls, the bottom becomes steeper and rockier. Fish congregate along the drop offs to catch food that is caught in the hard running current. Along the edges are lobster traps which are marked by orange buoys or "lobster balls". The buoys attract dolphin fish which in turn attract the larger marlin, swordfish and sharks which feed on them heavily. A trip by a buoy can be uneventful, or one or more lines might be attacked by mahi mahi, tuna, marlin or other fish.

Late August and September often feature the best fishing with anglers seeing larger numbers of tuna as well as an influx of wahoo and bull dolphin. Offshore fishing continues into October, when windy weather and falling water temperatures make fishing less productive.

After the offshore season winds down, Virginia anglers enjoy excellent striped bass fishing. Known locally as rockfish, these delicious fish migrate down the East Coast and congregate in the lower Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters from November thru March. Anglers sometimes catch monster rockfish, exceeding 50 lbs. The Virginia state record rockfish has been broken many times recently, with some of the biggest fish being caught out of Virginia Beach Virginia.

These beautiful gamefish love cold and windy weather and feed in immense schools along the coast. Local charter boat captains such as Captain Keith of the Mega Bite keep watch on local fishing and are usually able to find the fish reliably when a winter weather window of opportunity becomes available.For more information on Virginia charter fishing, visit www.sportfishingmegabitestyle.com]]> Make Tuna Taste So Much Better http://www.artwoo.com/article/make-tuna-taste-so-much-better http://www.artwoo.com/article/make-tuna-taste-so-much-better#comments Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:15:02 +0000 canned tunaworcestershire saucelemon pepperstarkistcheesepan spraylocal grocery store http://www.artwoo.com/article/make-tuna-taste-so-much-better

Then you should add Worcestershire sauce if you wish to and note that it adds approximately one gram of carbs to the nutritional total. Depending on which kind of cheese you use, you add about 5 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbohydrates and anywhere from 0-10 grams of fat.

Tuna and Egg

Some of these trips can exceed 70 nautical miles although good fishing is often just 25-30 nautical miles from home.

Late summer usually brings changes to offshore fishing. Better fishing is likely as tuna school up and develop a bigger appetite. Marlin, wahoo and large dolphinfish are also more likely. Another big factor is hurricane season. Some years we enjoy good late and others we wait as systems work off the coast. Patient anglers usually get a few nice days and enjoy good offshore fishing into the fall.

By October, most ocean going anglers turn their attention back to sea bass, flounder and tautog. As the waters cool further, red drum and striped bass or andquot;rockfishandquot; migrate down the coast. By this time offshore fishing has ended and most anglers either retire, or begin fishing inshore for striped bass which goes on throughout the winter months.

Common types of fishing rods include fly fishing rods, ultra-light fishing rods, carbon , spin casting rods, spinning rods, and . Each of these rods is available online and can be purchased along with other items that will enhance your fishing experience. If you have never used any of these rods, you should first determine which type of fishing you want to and then find a rod that matches it.

Also, this is something you can do with the entire family, even if they aren't into fishing, because being out on the water is an enjoyable experience for just about anybody, as it can be a very relaxing way to spend the today.

In addition, this is a top place you can introduce them and get them hooked on the sport of fishing for the rest of their life, because fishing is one of the few sports that anybody can do, at any age.

Even if the rest of the family isn't into fishing and has no interest in it, when you choose the right location (and how can you go wrong with Florida) they will still have plenty of activities to do while you are out fishing, so this isn't an issue.

So where are the top locations? First off, marathon fishing is right off the Florida keys, and is one of the best places you can start. This place offers just about any you can imagine, whether it be barracuda, tarpon, billfish, snappers, a lot of variety of tuna, etc.

Really, the sky is the limit as far as what you can catch here. With that said, however, you should have an idea of what you are targeting before you go, so that you know of fishing tackle to buy.

Here is a different location you might consider: the . Again, this is virtually no limit to the you can catch here, so choose wisely.

The bottom line is, I could give an exhaustive list of places to go, but you really can't go wrong with Florida deep sea fishing, because virtually anyplace you go off the coast of Florida will provide ample fishing opportunities.

Stuck on what kid of fish to go after? When in doubt, I'd recommend the Tarpon, if for no other reason that these are the most popular fish off the coast of Florida, and you are almost guaranteed to find many of these.

If you focus on a lesser populated breed, it is more of a crap shoot whether you will find any, but you can be guaranteed to find Florida tarpon. Also, the time of the year plays a role in what kind of fish will be there and what won't, so keep this in mind as well when planning your trip. If in doubt, call a local fishing shop and ask them for the best time to go and target the kind of fish you are looking for.

If you are an avid fisherman, then Florida deep sea fishing is something that you need to experience at least once in your lifetime.

There are so many different types from to to lake fishing that it is hard choose from, especially from the avid angler. If you care more for the location than the type of fish than pick a place you would like to go and see if those places have fishing nearby, which they probably do.

Many s are also planned depending on what time of year it is. In some bodies of water the fish bite more than at others for various reasons. When planning a fishing trip look into the fishing conditions at the place that you want to go and try to go when there is a better chance of the fish biting.

The type of trip also is based on the type of fish you want to catch because obviously you aren't going to go fly fishing if you want to catch a marlin. If you want a certain type of fish scout out where they are and go from there. When planning a fishing vacation there are so many things that factor in tow what trip you want to take by knowing what you want out of the trip it makes it that much easier to plan for it.

Lodging is also important when planning a fishing trips because many times the fish bite better early in the morning so you want to stay as close to the fishing area as possible. Look at lodges, hotels, and campsites beforehand and if you picked the trip make sure to make reservations well ahead of time as you don't want to get to a place that is full only to have to go further from the fishing spot.

There are a lot of different types of available. offer you different features depending on the type of fishing that you enjoy. Therefore, the first decision in choosing the right fishing boat will be to of fishing you plan on doing. This is important. For example, a bass boat would not work well for because it is not equipped to handle deep water and big waves.

You also need to determine what type of angler you are as well. In other words, do you plan on using the boat purely for fishing or would you like to use it for recreation as well, perhaps maybe even throw in a few skiing trips once in awhile. If you only want the boat for fishing then buy one designed especially for that purpose. If you like to do other water activities also then look for a boat with features. Many of the newer designs such as the "sportfish" model are designed for excellent fishing and many other water activities as well.

The area in which you plan on fishing goes hand in hand with the type of fishing you plan on taking part in. For instance, will you be fishing in fresh water, salt water or both? If you will be fishing in saltwater, do you plan on going or staying near the waters edge? These are important questions you need to consider to help you choose the right boat for your fishing needs.

Another question to consider is whether or not you will only be fishing during the day or if you will also be fishing during the night. If you do night fishing then you need to choose a boat that can provide you with some protection and is more comfortable than some fishing boats. Consider how many people will be accompanying you on your fishing trips. This is a big factor in choosing the right fishing boat. You will need to choose a boat that is big enough for everyone to fit comfortably and also have enough room to maneuver the fishing rods with ease.

You even need to decide if you prefer a fiberglass boat to an aluminum fishing boat. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on the type of fishing you plan on doing. The bottom line is, before you go out to look for that perfect fishing boat, take time to consider the things we have mentioned above. Asking yourself all the right questions will aid you in deciding which fishing boat would be the best boat to fulfill all your needs.

We had pushed hard to be among the first boats to set lines off the Virginia coast on this overcast July morning. We had set the center line, locally known as the way-way back or simply . The rig consists of a bird, of artificial squid and green machine. Within seconds of placing the rod in the rod holder, and before we could set the second line, we were hooked up to a nice .

Moments later we boated our second fish, a #40 class on another daisy chain as the bulk of the fleet were about to throttle back and begin setting lines. This was - Virginia style.

While this day we were successful, the season saw much of traditional tuna fishing knowledge proved worthless. Things that were not supposed to happen, did. Any seasoned Virginia angler will tell you that bluefin arrive first, eating cedar plugs in 20 fathoms. Farther offshore, yellowfin might appear, along the canyon edges.

Anglers were pleasantly surprised when sizable schools of small bluefin appeared along the canyon edges at the beginning of the season. Meanwhile yellowfin were absent, at least in the first weeks. Inshore, where bluefin were supposed to be, anglers found hordes of enormous which destroyed nearly any lure fished. Setting 4 lines would not be possible before all rods would go down.

Just 3-4 miles away lucky boaters could be in small bluefin, while those inshore were facing the blues. Eventually the bluefish invaded even the canyon waters, something that simply does not happen, ever. Tournament anglers in search of the season's first marlin suffered horrific tackle losses as the hungry bluefish bit thru hundreds of ballyhoo rigged on mono leaders.

Eventually, the bluefish subsided and anglers began to key on the tuna. Most experienced boats enjoyed excellent catches in the troll using a variety of daisy chains and spreader bars. Initially the bluefin were small, and their behavior was quite odd. They would eagerly attack 6 inch squid daisy chains while 9 inch lures were ignored. Small squids rigged on a spreader bar were equally effective. Many of the normally effective lures went untouched.

Upon examination of the stomachs, small squid were found, which correlated with the marks of bait that most anglers were detecting on their fish finders. Soon after the initial flood of small fish, events changed for the better. Yellowfin appeared, and a much larger class of bluefin entered the area. Suddenly larger spreader bars, full size green machines and 9 inch squid daisy chains drew the attention of tuna.

Boats reported 100+ lb tuna crashing spreader bars right at the stern, jumping completely out of the water before taking the hook. Meanwhile yellowfin took spreaders or daisy chains up close some days, while other days all the fish came on the WWB line.

Another local rig that saw success has been gaining popularity in recent years. Anglers will pull a specially rigged ballyhoo as much as 350 yards behind the boat. Most anglers use a very small or no skirt. Most anglers choose to utilize a long leader, 20' or more, attached to the main line with a small wind-on swivel. The rig is trolled at 6-7.5 knots in 20 -100 fathoms, depending on where the big bluefin have taken up residence. This rig is very effective in the dead of summer when bluefin are deep and refuse to bite other trolled baits. Fish over 100 lbs are common and some exceed 200.

Catches of tuna remained consistent thru August for those anglers that were able to capitalize on the fishes' preferences. Unfortunately Hurricane Katrina took her toll, scattering the fish and leaving shreds of Sargasso on every square foot of ocean.

A few days of fair weather allowed anglers to return to fishing. Anglers working the steep drops in 500-1000 fathoms found themselves in battles with big eye, sometimes multiples.
