Fishing with Kevy: Chasing Tuna off Devon's Coast - An Unexpected Adventure
Alright, fishing fanatics, Kevy here! You know me for my love of Devon's shores, but this time, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and venturing into deeper waters – the hunt for tuna!
Tuna in Devon?! You Bet!
Now, before you raise an eyebrow, hear me out. Bluefin tuna have been making a comeback in UK waters, and guess what? They're showing up off our Devon coast! It's still a bit of a gamble, but the thrill of hooking into one of these powerful fish is worth the risk.
Gearing Up for the Big Fight
Tuna fishing is a whole different ballgame. We're talking heavy-duty rods, high-capacity reels, and lines that could tow a car. Lures need to be big, flashy, and able to handle the tuna's lightning-fast runs. It's not your grandpa's mackerel fishing, that's for sure!
Techniques and Tactics
Trolling is the name of the game for tuna. We'll be dragging a spread of lures at varying depths, hoping to entice a hungry tuna to strike. Chumming with chopped fish can also help draw them in, but it's a waiting game that requires patience and a bit of luck.
Respecting the King of the Sea
Bluefin tuna are magnificent creatures, and it's important to treat them with respect. Sustainable fishing practices are crucial to ensuring their future in our waters. So, we'll be following all regulations and releasing any tuna that aren't of legal size.
The Thrill of the Chase
Even if we don't land a tuna, the experience itself is unforgettable. Being out on the open water, scanning the horizon for signs of life, and feeling the adrenaline rush when a rod goes off – that's what makes fishing so special.
Stay Tuned for the Action!
I'll be documenting our tuna adventures here on #fishingwithkevy. Follow along for updates, photos, and hopefully, some epic fish tales. Who knows, maybe we'll even inspire a few of you to try your hand at tuna fishing in Devon!
Tight lines and wish us luck!
