Chasing Little Tunny Off West Palm Beach

Little Tunny fishing using deep sea techniques at 900 Blue Heron Blvd

The boat rocks gently as we scan the horizon. Suddenly a splash catches our eye. A school of little tunny breaks the surface. Their sleek bodies glisten in the sun. We ready our lines and cast. The anticipation builds. A strike. The reel screams as line peels off. The fight is on. We battle the powerful fish. Finally we bring it alongside. Its blue-green back shimmers. We admire the catch before releasing it back to the depths. Another memory made on the open sea.
