By Alistair McGlashan | Bluewater trolling is often described as ‘hours of boredom, minutes of mayhem’.
Yet those minutes of mayhem, as a school of tuna strike every lure in the spread or you get the crashing strike of a striped marlin, is always worth the wait.
Lure trolling has evolved into a highly successful technique that is responsible for the downfall of more bluewater game fish than any other offshore technique.
In Tasmania tuna, (striped, yellowfin, albacore and southern bluefin) have always been the primary target, but this technique also works on the much sought after striped marlin.
Some switched on anglers are also running deep diving lures, like the ever reliable Halco Laser Pros and Tremblers in their spreads, and are catching a whole lot of bigger tuna.
Despite the effectiveness of bluewater trolling, it is a technique that is not easily mastered.
Luckily, in recent years, some of the offshore experts have begun to reveal their secrets and help anglers skip a few steps in the learning process.
