Go for it. I grew up fishing for silvers on Puget Sound out of the back of my 14 foot sailboat as a kid. I like to drag a Bucktail fly and once you find the speed they like it can be gangbusters. Just set your sails to establish a pace and have fun. You can troll from any size boat but it is best under sail. Nice and peaceful. Once you hook-up remember to dump canvas as to not drag the fish to death.

Off the coast we always drag a tuna fly at about six knots. I have caught them on poles and on hand lines. When using a hand line always troll with a snubber (surgical tube) to take the shock of the hook-up. Landing a tuna on a hand line is a real fight. Wear gloves or I can tell you without a doubt the tuna will win.

Once you get the fish on board have a bucket of water ready because when you butcher them they bleed and I mean they really bleed. Almost nothing on the face of the earth bleeds like a tuna. It will look like a scene from Lord of the Flies in the back of the boat. They are almost a straight tube from mouth to butt surrounded nothing but pumped muscle.

Eating them in the ocean is unbelievable. It is the only way I will eat raw tuna and on the barbie off the back is also great. Shoot what am I doing on land time to make way to the Pacific.

Forget the motor and sailfish
