The Offshore Pursuits retail store at Allen Harbor Marina will provide you with all tackle needed for offshore tuna fishing.

We have a complete line of custom Sluggo, Ballyhoo and Squid Spreader Bars with special tips for school tuna fishing. Also on display is a complete line of Hogey soft baits, Eye Catcher ballyhoo Lures, Sweet Lips jigs and Profishco tuna vertical jigging lures. Directions to the Offshore Pursuits store at Allen Harbor Marine can be found at http://www.allenharbor.com/allen_harbor_directions.html.

The Sluggo Bar The hot new tuna lure for 2009 is the Sluggo Bar. We have both 9" and 13" in stock in the Allen Harbor store and online by clicking here. The Offshore Pursuits Sluggo Bar is a 36" Titanium Bar with SS swivels on each Sluggo, custom built SS soft bait screws so you can easily change a damaged bait, black SS hooks and available in 9" or 12" Sluggos.

The 9" bar has a 9/0 hook and is available with white sluggos and a pink Sluggo stinger or pink Sluggos with a white stinger. The 13" bar uses a 10/0 hook and is available in the same color combinations. We are planning a black bar and stinger in the near future.

 

This site will provide an overview of our bluefin tuna fishing tackle and tuna techniques as well as links to articles, videos, pictures and bluefin charter boats. These saltwater fishing links will provide more tips and information for anglers fishing with squid rig spreader bars, green machines and other tuna lures including the new G-TEK system. This saltwater fishing tackle will catch tuna on all of the East Coast offshore waters. Our lures have been top producers from Maine to Florida and have proven deadly in the school bluefin tuna fishery off of New England.

Offshore Pursuits will expand their product line in 2009. We will be offering discounted specials on bulk squid, spreader bars, squid rigs, green machine trains and custom striped bass rigs. As well as featuring Eye Catcher and Hogy lures.

Most anglers agree that giant bluefin tuna fishing can be one of the most difficult big game fish challenges the ocean has to offer. Yet it is also one of fishing's greatest rewards. To win a battle with a giant bluefin on an 80 or 130 class rod is a thrill. But many anglers don't have that opportunity. Especially since the resource has dwindled due to over fishing by the European Union countries.

However, fishing for school and medium tuna on 30 and 50 class standup gear can provide the same thrills and is within the range and budget of most anglers. Offshore Pursuits has developed proven tackle and techniques to assist you in this endeavor. We will share this bluefin tuna knowledge with you and hopefully a tip or two will add to the success of your next offshore outing.

The tuna photos on this site were caught on Cape Cod aboard the Maverick with IFGA Capt. Jack Riley except for a pair of medium bluefin boated by Capt. Bill Regan and a school tuna by Capt. Jack Rogers, all members of the Offshore Pursuits Pro Staff. Also, the photo of Dave and his spin caught giant at right was on the "Tuna Duck" in North Carolina.

Dave and Eben with our first market bluefin in 2008. We had a double hookup. The 75" tuna hit a rigged ballyhoo with an Iland hood. We released the 60" school bluefin that crashed a naked ballyhoo behind a Bait Shower Teaser.

As you all know the keys to success when bluefin tuna fishing are preparation, timing, the right tackle and a little bit of luck. Wishing you Tightlines.
