Tuna Fishing Orlando Florida

Blackfin Tuna Just Minutes Away From Orlando and It's Themeparks

Tuna Fishing is not near as hot as it used to be east of Orlando, Florida but anglers can luck into one a few times a year if they venture out to the deep blue offshore fishing we have on the Atlantic Ocean side just forty minutes from Orange County and it's themeparks. Blackfin tuna used to fun and relatively easy for Charter Captains to find and target when the abundant rock shrimp and scallop boats used to work off Port Canaveral and chum up the the tuna, offering an abundant and seasonal catch of these tasty and hard fighting fish.

Now days tuna are a bi-catch rather than a targeted species off Florida's east coast except for Yellow Fin Tuna which are still pursued by elite enthusiast starting at almost 100 miles off the coast. Those trips now start at over $3,000 dollars a day with a few of the best producing captains chargeing over $5000 total for a long day of tuna fishing. If you're looking for overnight tuna trips on a comfortable boat with a salon, head and air-conditioning, we can help you find a great Captain for those "Other Side Fishing Trips" which refers to the other side of the Gulf Stream in search of Marlin, Tuna and other far ranging species.

For years we had a consistant fishery for the less sought after but quality blackfin Tuna off Orlando's eastern coastline of Brevard County our of Port Canaveral. We simply chummed up tuna and other species off the anchored rock shrimp boats where their crew typically worked and slept during the day before and after pulling nets during the evenings and nights. But those days are gone as the rock shrimp fishery has dried up and the boats have turned to other parts of the world.

Orlando's Best Bet for Tuna Fishing

Welcome Orlando Anglers,
We're hoping that one day the consistant tuna fishing off Florida's East Coast will come back and give us a go as it did just a few short years ago. Little did we know back then how quickly a fishery could fold due not from fishing for tuna, but from overfishing the once abundant rock shrimp off our coastline. Don't get me wrong, there's still good tuna fishery out beyond eighty miles or so for giant yellow fin tuna, but on the coastline of Florida the yellowfin fishery has all but dried up years ago and while the blackfin are still abundant they are not as easily chummed up as they don't key on the bi-catch food from the commercial shrimping boats.

Orlando still has a great offshore fishery and there's always a chance of catching tuna, but to target that specific species is not as valid as it used to be for an under $2,000 trip due to rising fuel cost and the time spent to get to the 120 mile range must go to catch those critters. Never the less, look us up for a great fishing trip offshore of Florida's east coast and we'll do everything to put you on some great rod pulling action off Orlando's eastern seaboard in the beautiful atlantic ocean.

"We had a great day of dolphin fishing with Captain Richard this April and we'll be back again soon." explains the three anglers pictured above.
