I think we might go to Cornwall this year instead of going abroad. It would be great to see tuna, dolphins & sharks. Pembroke is better mate less crowded plus lots of shark and dolphin but also the only place in England you can have a chance to see turtles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Seen a lot of tuna down here now, and loads of dolphins over the last few years, this is the best footage I've seen though, the "accidental" catches will be on the increase no doubt lol Quite a few boats have got recreational licenses to fish for them on a catch and release basis now mate if you fancy a go at them. Not cheap though. Most of em are about £1000 a day. 4 anglers maximum. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robbo 845 Posted Sunday at 18:50 Report Share Posted Sunday at 18:50 This is a friend's boat who usually operates out of Padstow, but has been running out of Falmouth for a couple of months over winter to target Tuna. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was in the tackle shop last year and the lad was talking about Albercore Tuna being caught locally, only a couple but if they run that would be amazing sport on heavy spinning gear!

I'm good thanks. Hope you're all well. Yeah I've heard of a few Albercore being caught here and there. Lots of Bonito were caught up near Bude this year. Couple of friends had loads of em fishing off their own boats. They Were getting them on spinning gear. I'll see if I can put some pics up. They were getting them about 1/2 a mile offshore.

It's mad how it's changing so much so quickly, loads of different bream species, tuna, lots of shark and more threshers, mako etc each year... its a big change from scratching for whiting and the occasional cod if your lucky!
