Blackfin Tuna

If you're after Blackfin Tuna near Carrabelle, Florida, head offshore into the Gulf of Mexico. This region provides access to deep water where these hard-fighting fish thrive. Blackfin Tuna fishing is often best during the warmer months, particularly from spring to fall. Look for them around offshore structures, weed lines, and areas with active baitfish. Chumming can be very effective in attracting Blackfin Tuna to your boat. Live bait, such as pilchards or threadfin herring, is also a great option. Trolling small lures or jigs can also produce results. A local tip: check the reports for recent activity around the offshore oil rigs; these structures often hold large schools of Blackfin. Also, be aware that Blackfin Tuna can be finicky eaters, so experiment with different baits and techniques until you find what works. Be sure to have plenty of ice on board to keep your catch fresh.
