Chasing Down Nearshore Blackfin Tuna In A Kayak

We drove through the entire night to chase down nearshore blackfin tuna from kayaks!

This is a bucket list fish for me that I’ve always wanted to reel in from my kayak.

See how we got it done in the video below!!

Before you think about going out and doing this type of fishing yourself, you need to have a few things in order.

I strongly recommend you try this with someone who knows what they are doing first.

Don’t try this alone.

Also, please have the proper safety gear in place including life vests and other necessities.

We got out to about 50 feet of water ready with big Rapala X-Raps to drop down for these fish.

After trolling for a while, I finally hooked into my first fish of the day.

It was absolute chaos from that point on.

There was a lot of kayak traffic out there but everyone could not have been nicer.

We’re all out there chasing the same thing.

I fought this fish for a while and it just kept digging down trying to shake the hook free.

You need to have the right gear in place or these fish will overpower you.

I was outmatched in terms of the gaff I had to use.

It is so important not to gaff the hook or the line or else the fish can pop off.

Eventually, I gaffed the fish and got it in the kayak!

Not bad for my first trip targeting these nearshore blackfin tuna!!
