THE best place to target Yellowfin Tuna in the Bahamas are on the ‘humps’ according to Bahamas Sport Fishing Network (BSFN) experts.

If you can, locate a good ‘hump’ (which indicate a rise on the sea floor or shallower spot) on your chart and there is a good chance tuna are swimming in the area.

Another technique used is looking for birds. While in the ocean keep your eyes out for birds because most of the time they will lead you to fish as they feed on the same small fish as the Tuna.

Keep checking the BSFN expert page for fishing reports throughout the Bahamas: this will be helpful in tracking the “hot spots” and providing advice on gear and fishing methods being used.
