Tuna Fishing in Jamaica
Few fish fight like a tuna. Off Montego Bay we find yellowfin and blackfin around bait schools, current edges and working birds — powerful, deep-running fish that also happen to be the best eating you'll bring back to your resort.

Where we find tuna
Tuna hold where the bait holds. We run the offshore ledges and colour changes, watch for frigate birds and bust-ups, and adjust the spread as the fish move through.
Trolling and live bait
We troll feathers, cedar plugs and small skirts at speed, then switch to live bait or chunking when we find a school sitting under the boat.
Fresh tuna for dinner
Your catch is filleted on board at no extra charge. Most Montego Bay resorts and villas will happily cook your tuna for you the same evening.
