Tips & Tricks
The Search
Tuna are best found when feeding on bait balls and or in shoals, underneath bird activity, the highly skilled guides are well versed in finding feeding birds and putting clients on the spot to traget tuna both on bluewater boats and or Flats skiffs.
Destination
Yellowfin tuna are found throughout the seychelles, with some destinations offering better fishing then others. The Alphonse Group and Amirantes Islands are most well know and provide the best opportunities at these species.
The Tackle
The most commonly used setups when targeting Tuna are 11 and 12 weight rods and matching reels with smooth drags. Reels are spooled with 300 – 500 yards of 80lb backing and a tropical floating fly line to match.
Yellowfin Tuna Flies
Tandem Tube Fly
A Tandem Tube Fly not bigger than 20 cm in length with lots of flash will work great. These flies work well because, like most others, they appeal to a fish’s carnal instinct, causing it not to think twice and eat. Flies that have a lot of flash seem to work well with enticing these fish.
Not Your Average Popper
This popper is tied on an 8/0 Gamakatsu hook and resembles most baitfish, but most importantly makes some noise when stripped through the water. Hook quality has a lot to do with the fly chosen for this job, as tuna fish are very quick to bend out or break poor-quality designs.
Black Brush Fly
The black brush fly is one of the most effective flies for yellowfin tuna and has likely fooled more of these powerful predators than many other patterns. Adding subtle flashes of color, such as purple, red, or olive, can make it even more enticing. Anglers often ask which fly works best for yellowfin, and more often than not, this is the one seasoned fishermen will reach for.
