Outer Banks bluefin tuna charters look forward to catching the largest tunas around that live up to 40 years. Diving deeper then 3,000 feet, bluefin migrate across all oceans. Because these fish are made for speed they are built like torpedoes. Their eyes are set flush to their body and have retractable fins. From the moment they hatch they are tremendous predators. Bluefin tuna seek out schools of fish like mackerel, herring, and eels. Hunt by sight they have the sharpest vision of any bony fish.

Bluefin tuna fishing in the Outer Banks is best in spring and summer months and continues through the warm weather.
