Bullet Tuna

Bullet tuna, locally known as tumbrell in Malta, are great fun to catch on light tackle. These small but fast predators are typically found in shoals, making it common to hook more than one during a single session. They generally range between 30 to 50 cm in length and are known for their speed and strength, especially on lighter gear. At Aquatica Fishing Charters, we often target bullet tuna while trolling with small lures, which proves highly effective. Their energetic fights and frequent double hookups make them a favorite for those seeking fast-paced, light tackle action on the water.
