SoCal Surface iron Fishing - Start the Season

 

Southern California is known for its beautiful beaches, perfect weather, and great fishing opportunities. One of the most popular types of fishing in the region is surface iron fishing. This technique involves casting a lure called a "surface iron" or "iron" across the water's surface and reeling it in quickly to mimic the movement of a fleeing baitfish. It's an exciting and challenging way to catch a wide variety of game fish, including yellowtail, bonito, barracuda, and even tuna.

If you're looking to try your hand at surface iron fishing in Southern California, you'll need a good-quality iron jig. O.C.T. Jigs are some of the best on the market, with a reputation for attracting bites and holding up to the rigors of this style of fishing. These jigs are handcrafted in Southern California using high-quality materials, and they come in a range of colors and sizes to match the local baitfish.

Blue Pacific Tackle is another great place to find quality jigs and other fishing tackle in Southern California. Alternatively, check OneCoolTuna.com for a list of other So Cal retailers.

In summary, if you want to try surface iron fishing in Southern California, you need a good-quality iron jig. O.C.T. Jigs and Blue Pacific Tackle are two of the best options available, with a wide selection of jigs and other tackle. O.C.T. Jigs are particularly well-regarded for their quality and effectiveness.

North Carolina Anglers Catch Record-Size 900-Pound Bluefin Tuna

https://www.fieldandstream.com/fishing/giant-north-carolina-bluefin-tuna/ 

 A monster tuna was recently boated in North Carolina. Captain John Cruise and his crew, including Zack Foster and Aaron Burr, caught a 900-pound bluefin tuna with live bait on December 2. The team of three anglers took turns reeling it in so it doesn’t qualify as the new state record, but by size, it’s the biggest catch ever recorded in the state. It took 5.5 hours for the anglers to reel the big fish in. “I knew it was a giant of a fish, and we were headed for an epic battle when the tuna made a sizzling run of about 600 yards,” Cruise, a retired Marine Corps officer, told Carolina Coast Online. “There was almost nothing we could do except stay in the fight, a down-and-dirty brawl with an immense fish.”

 

The “brawl,” which started in shallow water and ended several miles offshore, cost the crew in gear. Two gaffs pulled out of the fish, the 130-pound-test braided fishing line broke, and a 1,500-pound harpoon line frayed. But they still managed to boat the behemoth.

“We broke two hoists getting the fish inside the [boat],” Cruise said. “But we finally dragged it in headfirst so only about a quarter of the fish was hanging off the stern.”

They weighed the nearly half-ton tuna at New River Marina in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, which posted photos and video of the catch on Facebook shortly after the crew arrived. 

According to the Army Times, the current North Carolina bluefin state record, held by retired Army general Scott Chambers, stands at 877 pounds caught in March 2018. The IGFA bluefin world record belongs to Ken Fraser for a 1,496 tuna caught in Nova Scotia in 1979.
