trolling technique

The tuna fishing success depends on the season tuna fishing tuna itself. Tuna is a fish that like to swarm, so if you want to succeed a lot of tuna fishing, be sure there are hordes of tuna (in season) in the area your fishing. Your can use live bait or trolling with a minnow or a skirt for tuna fishing.

Tuna is one type of fish that swim in groups and always in conjunction with a weight of fish varied. Getting a tuna catches is what can make the mania trying to find a thrill in itself.



For the seasoned fishing mania, tuna fishing with trolling technique was still able to produce good catches, which this time will be described a few tricks of tuna fishing with trolling techniques.

Trolling fishing techniques using artificial bait / lure trolling, in which a technique of fishing with artificial bait to spread at the end of the rope strings are pulled by a boat runs are meant to attract the attention of target fish with a constant walking speed boat at 70-10 knots.

Some shades of color that can be used on artificial baits are dark green, black, purple, yellow, red and hot pink. Use these lure baits by combining the colors of the bait fish in target areas.

Other techniques can also be used by using the trolling technique is to use a live temple and also use the lure death. By combining these two types of bait were also able to provide a positive response with good results.




Live bait and dead bait used, such as yellow tail fish and mackerel, is quite reliable attract tuna. How to use them is by trolling techniques as far as 40-50 meters and float it in 2 (two) end of the rope strings and position the baits at depths of 80-10 meters below the water surface.

Tuna fishing using trolling technique proved to have a sensation for the mania that hunt fish species due to tuna has a tremendous power when fighting especially with some tuna species such as yellow and blue fin tuna and large weighted.

Your biggest catch, Tuna, chicken of the sea

Tuna is a salt water fish from the family Scombridae, mostly in the genus Thunnus. Tuna are fast swimmers, and some species are capable of speeds of 70 km/h (43 mph). Unlike most fish, which have white flesh, the muscle tissue of tuna ranges from pink to dark red. The red coloration derives from myoglobin, an oxygen-binding molecule, which tuna express in quantities far higher than most other fish. Some larger tuna species, such as bluefin tuna, display some warm-blooded adaptations, and can raise their body temperatures above water temperatures by means of muscular activity. This enables them to survive in cooler waters and to inhabit a wider range of ocean environments than other types of fish.

critically endangered tuna

bluefin tuna

The fishing quota for prized southern bluefin tuna has been lifted from its all-time low, in what fishers say is proof the severely depleted species is recovering.

The gourmet sashimi fish found mainly off southern Australia slumped to around 5 per cent of its original stock size under international longlining pressure over 50 years.

Southern bluefin is on conservation groups' fish-eating advisory black lists, particularly after it was found to have been devastated by a hidden 20-year Japanese overcatch.

But recent stock assessments show a dramatic increase in the number of juvenile fish, and sustained strength in the population of older fish, according to the Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna Association.

''We are celebrating the recovery of the stock," the association's chief executive, Brian Jeffriess, said yesterday.

Next year, fishers based at Port Lincoln, South Australia, will be able to take 4528 tonnes of bluefin, up around 500 tonnes on this year, and the quota will slowly rise over the following two years.

The six-nation Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna met in Bali this week for what the Australian delegation said was the most important meeting in its history.

The commission agreed a total quota rise of one third in the $1 billion fishery over the three-year period, from the current 9449 tonnes to 12,449 tonnes.

Crucially for Australia, the commission also agreed to impose a sophisticated fishery management scheme to keep a regular check on the sustainability of the catch - a world first for any tuna fishery.

The Fisheries Minister, Joe Ludwig, said agreement on the scheme was a vital step towards rebuilding the stock.

The fish's ''critically endangered'' status was recently reaffirmed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, and supported by scientific advice to the federal Environment Department.

But a departmental advisory committee said that given the highly migratory nature of SBT stock, the best chance of maximising recovery remained with globally co-ordinated management, and it rejected a trade ban.

TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, said the commission's outcome was a good first step. ''But it's as if the patient was still in the emergency department - it's not out of danger yet,'' said marine programme leader, Glenn Sant.

Humane Society International said a zero quota was still the best way to protect the fish, and it was time to turn attention to greater protection of seabirds, sharks and turtles caught in longlines by the fishery.

The Coalition spokesman for Fisheries, Senator Richard Colbeck, said the increase was a testament to industry discipline, in the face of conservationist doomsday predictions.

The quota remains a far cry from the peak of bluefin tuna fishing, when up to 80,000 tonnes a year was taken in the 1960s.
