Blackfin Tuna
Looking to tangle with Blackfin Tuna off Pompano Beach? You're in the right place. This stretch of the Atlantic, influenced by the Gulf Stream, provides a fertile hunting ground for these powerful fish. Blackfin are drawn to the area by seasonal migrations of baitfish, so keeping an eye on what's running is key. Peak season is generally spring and fall, coinciding with these bait migrations. Trolling live bait or casting topwater lures near structure like reefs and wrecks is a proven tactic. A key to success here is paying close attention to water temperature breaks, as Blackfin often congregate along these edges. Launching from Hillsboro Inlet Park provides easy access to the productive offshore grounds.
