This site will provide an
overview of our bluefin
tuna fishing tackle and
tuna
techniques as well as links to articles,
videos, pictures and bluefin charter boats. These
fishing links will provide more tips and information for
anglers fishing with squid rig spreader bars, green machines
and other tuna lures. This tackle will catch tuna on all of
the offshore waters of the East Coast. Our lures have been a
top producer from Maine to Florida and proved deadly in the
school bluefin tuna fishery off of New England.
Offshore Pursuits will
be attending many saltwater trade shows in 2008. We will
offer discounted show specials on spreader bars, squid rigs,
green machine trains and the complete line of East of
Chatham tuna tackle.
Also our pro staff will
be making presentations at various fishing organizations
throughout 2008-2009 to teach new anglers the secrets that
lead to a successful bluefin tuna trip.
Most
anglers agree that giant bluefin tuna fishing can be one of the
most difficult big game fish challenges the ocean has to
offer. Yet it is also one of fishing's greatest rewards. To
win a battle with a giant bluefin on an 80 or 130 class rod is a
thrill. But many anglers don't have that opportunity.
Especially since the resource has dwindled due to
over fishing by the European Union countries.
However, fishing for school
and medium tuna on 30 and 50 class standup gear can provide
the same thrills and is within the range and budget of most
anglers. Offshore Pursuits has developed proven tackle and
techniques to assist you in this endeavor. We will share
this bluefin tuna
knowledge with you and hopefully a tip or two will add
to the success of your next offshore outing.
The
tuna photos on this
site were caught on Cape Cod aboard the Maverick with IFGA
Capt. Jack Riley except for a pair of medium bluefin boated by Capt. Bill Regan
and a school tuna by Capt. Jack Rogers, all members of the Offshore
Pursuits Pro Staff. Also, the photo of Dave and his spin
caught giant at right was on the "Tuna Duck" in North
Carolina.
As you all know the keys to
success when bluefin tuna fishing are preparation, timing, the right tackle and a
little bit of luck. Wishing you Tightlines.
