Blackfin Tuna

Blackfin tuna fishing out of Titusville offers thrilling offshore action. These tuna are often found near structures and temperature breaks in the Gulf Stream, accessible by boat. Spring and summer months typically offer the best opportunities, as the warmer waters bring in larger schools. Look for birds diving on baitfish, a telltale sign of tuna activity. Chunking with cut bait or trolling small lures are effective methods. Be prepared for a fast and furious fight! A useful local tip: pay attention to the moon phase, as blackfin activity can increase around the full moon. Remember to adjust your depth and presentation based on water clarity and current. Light tackle can make the fight more exciting, but be sure to use appropriate gear to avoid prolonged fights and ensure a healthy release if practicing catch and release.
