Blackfin Tuna

Offshore Fort Lauderdale, the pursuit of Blackfin Tuna is an exciting game of matching your tactics to the prevailing conditions. These tuna are drawn to the area by seasonal forage migrations, so understanding what's on the menu is key. Look for them around structure and reefs in deeper waters. Water temperature and current play a massive role in their depth and activity, so pay close attention to these factors. Natural presentations tend to work best, so live baiting or using well-presented cut bait is often the ticket. A practical tip: the Hillsboro Inlet is a popular access point, but be mindful of the strong currents, especially during tide changes. Focus your efforts during the cooler months when the tuna are more active, and remember to adjust your depth based on temperature breaks.
