Beginners guide to catching BLACKFIN TUNA

[@imeyouthem9303]

Another awesome lesson from the best fishing teacher on the Internet. Thank you for taking the time to put this lesson together.

[@aquaman461]

Great info Heath! Haven't caught one in a while but I'll use this info to improve my luck!

[@TexasFishOn]

Thank you sir for a lot of information I needed

[@OMAIRS-nf3sw]

Very nice tutorial and the edits are on point.

[@bobpadgett9082]

I love your videos. I get a wealth of knowledge from you. Thank you for that. Now to my concern, we have lost a couple really good guys this year due to falling from their boats while trolling. Please hook your kill switch to you. I pray for you every time you walk to the back of the boat. Be safe my friend. And keep putting out the info.

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

I'm wearing a remote Killswitch... You just don't see it. Thanks for your concern. 🤙

[@aleenabeel8232]

nice one.again cant wait for yellow fin.

[@coryglass9400]

Heath, I enjoy watching your videos. You do a great job of explaining the details, Thank you.

[@danpetersen1553]

Great videos Heath! You do an exceptional job of keeping it simple so everybody can head out with a baseline of how to start executing your tips.

[@davidw3295]

You're a legend - thanks for sharing!

[@jeremysilcox9362]

If you and Alfie are ever up in Northwest Florida, let me know. It would be awesome to get out with you fishing one day.

[@sugarmonkeyfishingteam]

Thanks, Heath! Out of NC there are days I can’t get away from them but for the last 4 years, I’ve yet to boat a Key Largo Blackfin on my boat.

[@rickbold9337]

Awesome video Heath. Always learning from your Channel and you make it fun to watch!

[@bog6282]

Well done!! Nice job on the setup and showing it happen. I live on Big pine, love me some blackfin fishing!

[@TrapperDavido]

Thanks for the great info. So the terminal rig is just 1 oz skirted jig? @ 8-10 kts? How deep does that run them? Imagine pretty shallow?

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Yep 1 ounce weighted skirt. Yes 8-10 mph. Lure trolls just below the surface. Tight lines 😁

[@jeromecalderone4526]

Thanks for this video Heath I need to catch some Tuna to go with the wahoo and cero sushi we have been making.

[@pepepepito623]

12:15' nasty weather to a peaceful afternoon, Ah! Florida!

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Correct

[@joe3312s]

We will try this before we head north mid April, the reef fishing has been slow here in Key Largo so far.

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Mahi are showing up early also

[@1539Mickey]

Hi Heath, Thank you for more good information. I always learn something from your videos. Hope you are feeling OK. Say "Hi" to the Crew. Take care and have fun, Mickey

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Hi Mickey. Since I'm out of the game for a bit.. all I can do is help... And hope my boat misses me as much as I miss it 😁. Hope all is well in Palm Bay. Winter is almost over. Talk to you soon. By the way, I'm now doing a livestream fishing report every Tuesday at 6:00pm. If you available, drop in and say "Hi".

[@1539Mickey]

Hi Heath, get well soon. The fish are waiting for you. Take care, Mickey

[@killtrocity6857]

My man, I love the content, your work amazing... with that said can you set up a link so we can buy you a decent microphone.

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks... And yes I'm working on the mic 😁

[@kennyhollidayjr5206]

Good stuff thank you!

[@davidpaul705]

Awesome! Let’s go

[@pepepepito623]

I got an assortment of teasers,soft(small size)and 2 bigger hardwood behind.(i understand the principle of it .bigger fish chaises the smaller ones)... 1 hook on a skirt on the end? Easy transition from "yoyos" to rods!planners to down riggers! And plentiful "grunts" on the reefs...

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

I personally like double hooks on skirts

[@DominickDiDonato]

We have them off the okaloosa island peir right now, a guy told me to use a white z man fluke and a short shank 1oz triangle jig head, to rig it upside down , and to just reel it straight really fast, is that good advice or is there a better way

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Sounds good to me... If it works... solid.. if not, I'd go with a 3/4 white bucktail jig. Same method, pitch it out and reel it in as fast as you can.

[@jb5676]

What do you use those bucktails for?

[@jb5676]

Ok, never mind, I asked too early. 😮

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Everything eats them

[@williamlutsch4259]

My wife and i are moving down to FL. Those e blackfin are on the top of my list that im dying to catch.. that and mahi. I dont have salt fishing rods yet. Do i need to sell the farm to get a huge quiver of rods?

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

No I wouldn't go doing that yet 😁. Get some medium class gear, spinners & conventionals 15-30 lb class stuff... Spool it with 20 lb test and that'll get you started

[@williamlutsch4259]

@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing i guess itd be the same for someone watching videos of fishing here in the Colorado rockies where im born and raised. Youd think, by watching videos, youd need flyrods from 4-6 weight just to get your foot in the door. I mainly use a 4 wt 95% of time, have two spin rods for the wife and i and just a couple pitchin rods for bass in the city

[@billmurray894]

Fl is full don’t come!!!

[@mattsmith5996]

How far off shore looking to go down in June

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

1.5 to 3 miles

[@10ring]

Where are you in 200+ ft of water so close to shore?

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

That's the way the reef is shaped here off South Florida.

[@pepepepito623]

Early in morrow, late in the afternoon...cockroaches or/and trigerfish.

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

🤣🤣🤣
