Big Yellowfin Tuna
YELLOWFIN TUNA
Big fish like the ones in these photos normally begin to show in February. Normally by March massive schools of Spotted Dolphins move in with countless big Yellowfin. Diving birds, bait balls and fish this size crashing out of the water.
Schools of Spotted Dolphins, with diving birds show in the same general areas each year. Often on the move, they will travel in predictable directions. I don’t listen to the VHF radio to find them.
