A History of Success

Proven Fishing Techniques

Silver Gannet has an outstanding track record in the Cornish tuna fishery.

During the 2024 season, Silver Gannet successfully caught, measured, and released safely over 360 Atlantic Bluefin Tuna from Mylor Harbour (skippered by Steve Porter and top crewman Mike Freeman).

This year, vessel owner Bruce Markham will be skipper and will be hoping to give our anglers the best possible opportunity of connecting with one of these incredible fish.

To maximise your chances of success, we employ a variety of proven tuna-fishing methods:

01

Trolling

Our primary technique uses high-quality surface lures and spreader bars to find actively feeding tuna.

  • Up to four trolling rods
  • Covers large areas efficiently
  • Highly effective for locating fish

02

Live Baiting

When conditions allow, live bait can be deployed to target larger fish and produce explosive visual takes.

  • Up to two live-bait rods
  • Exciting, visual strikes
  • Used when fish behaviour suits

03

Dead Baiting

An effective alternative when tuna are feeding selectively or when conditions make a different presentation advantageous.

  • Careful bait presentation
  • Adaptable to fish activity
