Tuna Fishing Technique - One Simple Tip Will Put More Fish in Your Boat Today

It always amazes me that some people continue to fish for tuna. As we all know, this sport is not a cheap one. It costs a ton of money just to put the boat in the water. Tack on the expensive fishing rods, lures, and GPS systems and we are talking about a small fortune. And this is before considering how much time it takes. Before you spend another dime, or waste more of your time trolling around the ocean, try out this one simply tuna fishing technique and you will almost certainly put more tuna in your boat today!
There is nothing like the site of blackfin tuna in a feeding frenzy. I love the way they simply destroy the surface of the water eating anything, and everything, in site. The sound that the surrounding birds make is music to my ears.
But where do you find the elusive fish? How can you increase your chances of having a large school come your way?






The secret is rubbish; trash to be more precise.
Shrimp boats trawl the ocean floors all night and almost immediately begin separating harvested shrimp from the other sea creatures that are scooped up along with the shrimp. I have heard scientist refer to this as 'bycatch' but captains simply call it trash, and this trash is how the magic happens.
When the shrimp boats have finished separating their catch, they go ahead and throw the trash overboard. All of this typically catches the attention of predators in the area, who quickly move in to feed upon the tiny fish and crustaceans now floating like perfectly prepared chum.
Enterprising captains know that we are fishing for tuna and will often save a few bags to sell for a few bucks. The key is to buy a few bags so that you can create your own trash feeding frenzy. Once you have your trash in hand, slowly approach the stern of an anchored shrimp boat. You will almost certainly see fish in the area. Once you do, turn off your engine and let some trash fly.
Drop a lot of chum initially to see what is in the water. If you see a bunch of bonitos you may need to consider moving. If, however, you see more blackfin tuna than bonitos slow the rate at which you are chumming to prevent the bonitos from going into a feeding frenzy. Wait until you see a few blackfins circling around, and then cast your line into the water. That is all there is to it!

Following this one simple tip can literally double the amount of blackfin tuna you catch almost instantly. If you would like to learn more advanced tuna fishing techniques, visit http://fishingtuna.info!
