We trolled just off the beach today , maybe 300-400 yds out, and were catching Little Tunny like crazy, but only about 10 inchers.  Does that make any sense?  I had never really heard of them coming in like that.  No big ones either :(.  Does anyone know the regulations on Tuna or Little Tunny (bonito)?  I didnt see 'em on fwc.  Thanks for any help.

No regs. You can kill 'em all. Not to good to eat though.

We used to catch those small ones using big sabikis near Crab Island - haven't caught any this year though.

They were all over Ft Pickens pier Friday. Saw some BIG king come into 2 feet of water. Pretty cool.

You can catch the little ones close to the beach sometimes in the summer. Here's one a guy in our crew caught recently no more than 100 yards off the beach.

As I can remember, the little ones were schooling up about 1-2 miles offshore last year in the early fall. Soon after, the big ones come in

whats cool about those is that you will also get little frigate mackerel with them to and those little bonitos if you can keep them alive you will catch some of the biggest snapper you ever will on them
