Amazing fish those tuna, they are pure powerhouses, magnificent creatures. 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

I know that feeling mate, you don't half feel small in a kayak a mile or so off the shore when dolphins or porpoise are around you, it's an amazing sight but makes you respect the pecking order! 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.

Hello mate, hope you're well Bry?

Yeah I've seen that, a couple out of Plymouth I think? 

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!

Ey up Kev. 

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.

All good thanks Bry..

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! Lol
