Fin Size
What type of fish is shaped alot like a blue fin tuna, is about the same size and weight, but has scales?
I was diving in the Gulf of Mexico in the the big bend area and saw the fish from about 10 feet away. The fish was silver like a tarpon. It wasn't a tarpon, jewfish, grouper, shark, etc. Can't find anything in books to identify it. It appeared to be 4 1/2' to 5' long 150 to 175 lbs.
Amberjack? That would be a big AJ though. I fish the big bend area almost every week. How far out were you and where did you launch
Tuna are huge and delicious saltwater game fish. Tuna fishes are large in size and hence many enjoy fishing as it is a big game fishing target. There are many types of tuna fishes: * Albacore * Black fin * Skipjack * Blue fin * Yellow fin These tuna fishes are mostly captured in coastal estuary waters and also offshore. In order to go for tuna fishing, a lot of information must be gathered such as recent fish counts reported by other captains, popular fishing locations which have been producing numerous hookups, current water surface temperature and the weather must be continually monitored.
One of the best methods for tuna fishing is trolling. Trolling is done with feather jigs, miniscule squid imitations, live or fresh dead bait and even hard bodied lures. Any layman having minimal amount of experience with fishing must know trolling where eight or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish are drawn through the water behind a moving boat. Many enjoy tuna and they find it to be an exciting adventure. But it may be really frustrating unless you know what you're looking for.
The season matters a lot for tuna fishing since you will not be able to find any during the summer. The tuna stay near the surface of the water when hunting for bait fish. During winter, the tuna go down deeper into the water and rarely risk up to the surface. It is better for tuna fishing during the late afternoons. An additional method for tuna fishing is drifting and builds a burley trail in order to wait for the fish to show up.
When each and every time the fish turns up to the anglers transmit out a baited hook in to the trail for tempting fishes to bite. In certain situations, chum or bait fish styled flies proves to work at times. While doing this, you must remember that the tuna hits very hard, hooks themselves, and yanks the line off the reel at a rapid speed. Sometimes large fishes might give you the fight of your life, battling for as long as several hours before it wins by snapping the line or leader, or you may be the winner by getting it on board the boat.
A few tips for tuna fishing: * Control your reel speed * Keep your lines tight * Pay attention to nature * Pay attention to the season Whether you are fishing for Yellowfin or Blackfin tuna, carefully consider the tuna fishing techniques you plan to incorporate. Therefore tuna fishing during early mornings or late afternoons during low light.
