Fishing data obtained from Victorian Fishing Authority

The Southern Bluefin Tuna have a torpedo shaped body, dark blue backs and a silver belly. The fins and finlets can have a yellow tone with black edges and the dorsal fin has a blueish tone, hence the name “Bluefin”.

You will find the bluefin around the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. They travel long distances and are highly migratory. They can be found in depths of up to 500 metres.

We mostly troll lures to locate and catch these blue bullets. We have found this to be the best way by a country mile. Trolling lets you cover vast areas in search of these fish and often on a hard day on the water, you will still rustle up at least a few Southern Bluefin Tuna. The lures we typically use are either skirted lures or Rapala lures. A Portland Fishing Charter is an experience not to be missed!
