Steps to Catch Tuna
Locating Tuna
In big game Tuna fishing, understanding your environment is a must. What happens under the water is more important than above the water.
Research is needed to know where reefs, artificial reefs and underwater rock formations. Further out to sea, charts will show seamounts or underwater mountains and canyons. Also knowing where you're continental shelf starts and ends. Water moves around these underwater structures and provides food to Tuna.
This water movement helps pull food for Tuna from the bottom of the ocean up to the surface these are called "up wells". Up wells, contain food for Tuna like Cephalopods, Clupeids, Arthropods, Planktonic, Tunicate and Algae.
Weather and Water Movements
Days before going Tuna fishing, we always monitor the weather and tide patterns. The tide is dictated by the lunar or moon cycles.
Sea rivers are stream of water that have a different water temperature and right place to find Tuna. The correct water temperature is one of the most important factors in successfully finding Tuna.
Tuna, being one of the more temperature sensitive fish in the sea, It's important to learn a lot about your Tuna target and their natural environment. What water temperature your Tuna likes to live in is a good place to start.
Tuna Research
Before going Tuna fishing you need as much information and gather as much intelligence as possible. Going to the local fish coop or fish market is a good way to find out what's around. If the commercial fishers are catching certain fish, then it's also good for the sports Fisher.
Speak with others that go out and get all the information you can. Fishers are reluctant to tell others about all the spots they hookup at.
Another good thing to do is keep your ear to the marine radio days before and always on the day. Your marine radio is a must when Tuna fishing. If you have other fishers fishing the same area for Tuna use your marine radio to contact them.

Use multi pin lures to increase the chance of catching the fish. As for as small tuna has been concerned it moves in groups so that it will be a great chance to catch more small tuna and the probability of catching the larger one will be high.
