Product Review: Advanced Secrets Of Tuna Fishing
I found this product online and I though I would review it for you and tell you what I think. First, I want you to notice it says advanced, this is not as true as it sounds. The methods in this book do work quite well (much better then I thought) but even a beginner tuna fisherman can pick it up. Second, I must say I was really surprised that an ebook could do such a good job at explaining the methods.
The Book: This book has pro’s and con’s. First, I’ll start off with the pro’s. Using the methods in this book I was able to catch some very nice sized tuna’s and I was able to find them pretty quickly. To make it fair for the book, I did not use any of my own methods to find the tuna, nor did I use my preference of bait (unless it was the same as the book). I have been testing the methods in the book every other tuna trip we go on. Although I changed my tactics to fit this book, I have had the same great results I had before, which is a good sign overall. Another good pro for this book is that it has a complete money back guarantee, which is a nice bonus to any product! The pro’s verdict: it works! Now to the con’s of this book. The one con that I could find is that it is a bit expensive to spend on a book, but if your a tuna fisherman this will come out to less then half a tank of gas! My recommendation is that you print this out into a booklet that you can take along on the boat (atleast thats what I did).
The Bonuses
- Free Tuna Lure
- $160 Tuna Lure Voucher
- Lure Fishing Special Report
- $50 Fishing Tackle Voucher
The Verdict: If you are a good tuna fisherman or just a beginner looking to get a new perspective on tuna fishing, then buy it! But if you are satisfied with the pace of fishing you are at now, then wait till you get some extra cash to throw around.

Free: Professional Shark Fishing Handbook
I just love shark fishing! While most advanced fishermen would rather not mess with them, I on the other hand enjoy it. I rarely keep the sharks I catch (although bull sharks and blacktips are really good), but when I do I make it count. I personally encourage you to tag and release sharks because they are disappearing fast! Anyways, here is the free shark fishing guide I learned from: Shark Fishing Handbook.
Basic Ways To Catch Redfish
Redfish are the king of all game fish inshore. They fight hard, usually easy to find, year round in many places, and good eating! There is no reason you can’t get a piece of the action.First, lets go over the basics, the fish itself:
Habitat: Redfish spawn in estuaries and this is where you’ll find the smaller fish. These reds are either small slot reds or just out of the legal limit. If you want something you can eat, you’ll probably need a fish between 18-27 inches (By Florida Law, other states it may vary). The slot reds usually hang out it the bays and waterways. They feed in grass flats, oyster beds, and chase schools of minnows. Once a redfish reaches 30″ inches it usually starts adapting to the ocean and spends most of its life there. Surf fishing is a great way to catch monster reds (42+ Inch Reds). I found a great guide for all kind of surf fishing that will help you get started: The Quick Start Guide To Surf Fishing. Also, redfish enjoy hanging out around docks.
Feeding Habits: Redfish are not very picky eaters. They are not very fast so feeding is many times an all day thing because the speckled trout have first pick. This is why redfish are caught all day long and many times easy to find. Redfish eat shrimp, sand fleas, mullet (any type of minnow really), crabs, and anything that is small and living.
Baits & Lures: I try to stick with artificial baits because they are not as messy (except the Gulp Shrimp), and you can reuse them as long as they are in one piece. The best artificial bait I have luck with is Berkley Gulp 3″ Shrimp, Gold Spoons, and Mirror Lure. Of course many other lures work too. Baits that work well include: sand fleas (I preffer using a jig with a sand flea on the back), live or dead shrimp, mullet, and pinfish. I really don’t feel like listing every live thing that a redfish will eat because there is so many, it would probably be easier to list what it won’t eat.
Rod & Reel: If your fishing the bay flats or docks use a 6′ 6″ light-medium rod with a medium sized spinning or baitcasting reel. Now if your fishing the surf, use a surf rod thats about 10 feet long (for longer casts). Reels are mostly personal preference but don’t buy a shakespear reel if your life depended on it! The only good product shakespear makes is the Ugly Stick.
This mini-guide should get you to atleast your first redfish. If you have never caught one, its a great feeling that never gets old.
