Blackfin Tuna fishing Key Largo

How we fish blackfin tuna in Key Largo

Blackfin tuna stack up on the offshore humps and color changes off Key Largo, especially winter and spring. We chum live pilchards, jig deep, or set kites — whatever the day calls for. Most are 15–25 lbs, but 35+ pounders are not rare. They smoke drag, fight hard all the way to the boat, and are some of the best sashimi-grade table fare you'll ever eat. Best on the Deep Sea Big Game charter.
