sea surface temperature

Winter on the North Carolina coast often means cold air, short days, and fewer boats at the dock. But offshore, the story is very different. Out in the Gulf Stream, the water is still warm, active, and absolutely capable of producing wahoo all winter long. The challenge isn’t whether the fish are there — it’s… READ MORE

When bluefin tuna are sitting deep, speed jigging is fire. You can see bluefin tuna on the meter down deep, and they won’t hit baits trolled on the surface? This happens a fair amount in some areas, such as in the Mid-Atlantic region when the tuna are feeding on sand eels over humps in a… READ MORE

Ever wonder how offshore anglers consistently find tuna before leaving the dock? In this video, we break down exactly how we use temperature maps and chlorophyll maps to locate bluefin and albacore tuna. We go over why these breaks are the key to finding bait and life offshore. We’ll walk through real world examples from… READ MORE

Targeting bigeye tuna takes a 100-percent all-out directed effort. Few members of the Thunnus species are as difficult as bigeye to target. Timing matters, bathymetry matters, water temp matters, and the offerings you choose matter, too. You say you want to sink the gaff into one of these bluewater beasts? Make sure to consider all… READ MORE
