Hello all,
Been browsing through some of these posts and there are some very nice Tuna there, would love to get one of those guys(50kgs+)the best we have have managed is 38kg and that was while targeting marlin,I know they are not as prolific up on the north coast, going to give it a go deep of vidal and richards bay later in the year, I know they are there as we have lost a couple before and some guys have been succesfull so will keep plugging away until I get it right!!
What I wanted to ask was in the pics I see the fish have been bled and have the top of there heads removed,I understand that is to maintain the quality of the flesh?
what is the best method to use to bleed a big tuna like this and can anyone of the tunny boys share some info as to the why and how and if all tuna species should be treated the same? Also what size Tuna do you strt doing this with?
We are used to catching the smaller gas bottles as Marlin baits but any suggestions on how to go about specifically target the big uns of the north coast?
cheers
Greg
