Captains Andy and Rich head up to Point Judith to get in on a red hot school tuna bite with Captain Mike Neto of the Adrianna Charters. Bluefin tuna fishing just keeps getting better every year. The bite was non-stop and they caught way too many bluefin tuna to count. Some of the fish were nearly 35lbs! They put the trolling gear away and had all the fish on the new (at the time) Shimano butterfly jig system and Yo-Zuri topwater plugs on very light spinning tackle.
School bluefin tuna are a blast on light tackle. It is critical that anglers practice responsible catch and release when pursuing these fish.
