how can I hunt tuna fish?

Answer 1

A bunch of bad jokes for answers.

Tuna are generally migratory offshore fish -- you generally can't anchor up on a spot and catch them the way you can catch inshore fish, so the tuna fishermen do spend lot of time "hunting" for them.

Late summer is a good time for them off California and Baja California. You get on a boat and head offshore, hang trolling lures out behind the boat and get your eyes on the water, looking for anything from birds circling a spot to floating stuff (generally kelp paddies) to schools of porpoises and so on. (Of course, a school of breaking fish is always the best thing to find.) Meanwhile, the boat's skipper is looking underwater with his sonar.

Once you locate the fish, the "hunting" is over and you cast out baits and start fishing.

Actually, there is another ways to "hunt" tuna in a more traditional meaning of the word. This involves a wetsuit and a speargun. People have speared 300+ pound yellowfin and bluefin tuna off Baja in recent years; however that involves being in the water with a bleeding tuna and often great white or hammerhead sharks... that's not for me.

Answer 2

Tuna are declining at an exceedingly speedy value. there's a sturdy probability that if issues are actually not achieved quickly, they'll substitute into endangered if no longer extinct. regrettably that is almost impossible to video exhibit and regulate the fishing of huge pelagic fishes like the tuna considering the fact that they're in many circumstances fished from international waters.

Answer 3

Right now, the best place to tuna fish is off Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. In January, plenty of tuna off Cape Hateras in North Carolina. If you don't have a boat, hire a charter boat captain. Montauk, NY, Port Judith, Rhode Island, New Bedford, Massachusetts, Bagnegat Island in New Jersey, and Cape Hateras in North Carolina have plenty of good captains that can put you on giant bluefin tuna.

Answer 4

well, it can be done. In the American Northeast, it's done with electroshock harpoons. You have to get a license to do so and there is a minimum size that you can take.

All in all it's not easy, and terribly expensive.

Some countries will allow you to spear fish some Tuna species, again you may have to check with local authorities.

Answer 5

I have never heard of anyone hunting for tuna but they go fishing for them.

Answer 6

like if you're in the supermarket and the old people got the last tuna you get a stick and you hit the old people and you yell at them until they give you the tuna

Blue Fin Tuna is nearing extinction in European waters so your best bet is a Sport Fishing holiday in Florida or Puerto Rico (US one)
