About Miami blackfin tuna
Blackfin tuna are the mainstay tuna off Miami, football-shaped and built for the fight. Pound for pound they pull as hard as anything in the ocean, and fresh blackfin at the dock is as good as it gets.
How we fish for them
We troll the color change and put live baits out on the kites when the blackfin are up. Early light and moving water are your friends, and the crew keeps the spread working until they show.
