For yellow fin we get infront and up ahead of the school and start casting stickbaits from the bow while the rest of the crew drop jigs and small live baits, jigs are great as the get down faster and quicker, tuna schools move quick so this works well.
One of the most memorable Tuna jigging sessions I have been part of was off the Balearic islands in the Med, we were fishing a huge school of Bluefin and at one stage the water went silver under the boat with so many tuna swimming past us, twice we got bust off by other fish hitting the braid. I have never seen so many tuna in my life as I did that day.
We have started using shorter jigs for Yellowfin Tuna for a better hook up rate compared to the longer Jigs we use for Kingfish.
