On True Blue 2023 will be our third season of being able to legally target Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in UK waters. We were able to do this in 2020 as one of only two tagging vessels for The Thunnus UK Bluefin Tuna Research Programme. In 2021 and 2022 we were again tagging Bluefin for Thunnus UK, but were also one of a small number of boats allowed to take fare paying anglers out to catch and tag Bluefin under a pilot CHART Scheme. (Catch and Release Tagging).
Unless licensed under a tagging scheme, it is currently illegal to target Bluefin Tuna in UK waters, but lobbying and campaigns from various individuals and organisations mean that there is a real possibility that a "Catch and Release" fishery may be established here in the UK in due course. In the meantime, True Blue hopes to be involved with tagging programmes for the foreseeable future. During our 2021 season, 57 days of effort resulted in 147 Bluefin Tuna up to 500lb being caught on True Blue. Within those 57 days, there were 11 days without a catch, so catching a Bluefin is not guaranteed, but overall our average catch per day was 2.6 fish. Thats pretty impressive for anywhere in the world and with a long season, the Bluefin Tuna fishing here in the UK is World Class.

In 2020, 2021 and 2022 True Blue was lucky enough to have been selected by Exeter University and CEFAS to work with the Thunnus UK research programme. This involved catching and tagging Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in and around Falmouth Bay.
