WHAT TO ExpecT?

There is no such thing as a typical day in the world of bluefin tuna fishing. However, there are a few things you can expect. You can expect some high weather during the bluefin season, so we recommend you book 3 or 4 full days of fishing to increase your chances. You can also expect that each day we are on the water we will make sure you are comfortable and “in the know” regarding your safety on the boat as well as the plan for the day. Once we have accomplished these tasks each day we will be on our way to our first mission of catching live bait. While we have a chilled bait on board we would like to have live bait in our tanks. Live bait will increase your chances of a catch. Catching the bait fish is fun and will warm you up for the bigger catch.

As we set out to find a bluefin tuna, we will talk with you about how to hook a bluefin and what to do once you have one on your line. Most importantly, you can take comfort knowing we will be with you every step of the way. Before you hear the screaming sound of your reel going out to sea at break-neck speed you can spend your time enjoying the whales, seals, seabirds and the beautiful Canadian coastline. 

YOU hooked up?

The boat captain and the crew will begin working right away to pull in other lines as fast as possible so as to not get tangled with your hooked line. The boat engine will come alive under your feet and you will begin the process or reeling in your giant. Bluefin are notorious fighters and will provide you one of the most challenging battles you have ever experienced. Your adrenaline will be pumping and your heart will be racing and this will provide you the necessary fortitude to reel in your giant. You will reel your giant bluefin tuna as close to the boat as possible so you can take pictures, celebrate, and admire your catch up close and personal. You can revel in the glory of catching one of the most elusive fish in the world!

Once you are done celebrating we will help you to release the fish back into the wild with a kind note of "thanks" and unduly respect to the wondrous creature that provided you the opportunity of a lifetime. As part of our thank you to the bluefin we use only barbless circle hooks to minimize stressful reactions and to ensure the longevity of the beautiful fish.

There is a limit of 3 bluefin catch and release per day and once or twice a commercial season the boat captain may decide to keep the bluefin as his property to take onto shore.
