Tuna Tournament comes to an end, yellowfins moving inshore?

Well the 2025 Tuna Tournament has come to an end, and just as we thought the tuna bite was very sporadic and they were very spread out. Boats caught a decent amount of yellowfin, but was hard to find big heavy tournament winning fish, I believe we saw one bluefin and two big eyes the entire tournament, and only a handful of yellowfins over 60lbs, we did finally see a nice wahoo get that awesome payout, as well as a good size bull mahi for that division, and then tons of billfish releases, seemed like everyone raised, hooked, or released a white or blue marlin! Good sign for the billfish guys! Now the Jimmy Johnson quest for the ring is coming up so we’ll see how that goes! Fishing wise in my opinion the bio mass is spread out to the north at this point, there’s def some big eyes in the Wilmington and Spencer, probably the Baltimore and Washington too, boats just had trouble getting them to come up and eat, they were all down deep from what we heard, and what Jeff saw as well. The yellowfins we had stacked up in the Poormans area spread out up and down the line and some moved north, however there is another mass of them pushing in from the south, we’ve got good reports of boats out of VA beach doing well south of the Norfolk, and even some Chincoteague and Ocean City boats also doing well between south of the Norfolk and South of the Washington. We also have got reports of some yellowfin finally starting to show up in a little shallower water, pushing into some of the southern most lumps in 30-60 fathoms, down south west of the Norfolk like the 21fm and 22fm fingers, Wayne’s world, and even to the north west spots like the Hook or the Rock Pile are worth starting to scout and troll, even if you don’t find yellowfin you could find wahoo or mahi! Summer fishing is in full swing, let’s see what the water and weather does, and then we’ll see what we think these fish are gonna do! Tight lines and stay bent y’all!!
