The Bluefin Tuna is widely regarded as the pinnacle species of sport fishing. There are bigger fish, like the Marlin, but NOTHING will prepare you for the pull a 300lb tuna can put out. Where the Marlin may win in overall size, the tuna definitely will out pull it.  It can take an experienced angler several hours to boat a big tuna, and many an inexperienced fisherman has lost there first hook up on bluefin, because they have never fought a fish like this one. You need to pace yourself, and present only the very best rod, reel, line, knot, and hook to the fish. If any one of these aspects is lacking, you will surely loose your fish. Also, technique will play a large part in your success. Make sure that the drag is just right, keep the rod tip up, and dont be ashamed to tag team the fish, by taking turns to get the fish on the boat.

Bluefin fishing is the pinnacle of Southern California sportfishing (and arguably the world) for its pure brute strength and incredibly tasty table fare. Favoring water temps around 60-72 degrees, this broader spectrum of temperature flexibility allows this fish to bite nearly year round.  However, the general season usually starts in March and goes through October. 

Rest assured, we take Blue Fin Sport Fishing very seriously! All of the gear provided on a bluefin trip is our best, heaviest, and newest tackle. We run 50 wides for when the big blues are out! If you do hook one of these monsters, be prepared for a long and hard fight. Our captain will maneuver the boat to put you in the best position to land the fish, all the while our deckhands will be standing by with multiple gafs. As soon as you see the fish under the water, yell "COLOR" and one of our deckhands will quickly come over and land your fish.
