Venice Yellowfin Tuna Night Chunk Line

Venice, Louisiana is famous for its yellowfin tuna fishery. Nighttime chunking is one of the most effective techniques. Anchor upcurrent of a temperature break or reef, and start chumming with cut bait. The slick draws in huge yellowfin. Use 30-50 lb class gear and 4/0-6/0 circle hooks. We landed several tuna in the 60-80 lb range on a moonlit night.
