Introducing a new way to skin your tuna
Imagine just getting back to the dock after a long day off-shore and hauling in a boat load of tuna. Exhaustion is setting in from a tuna catching frenzy. Who has time to sit at a cleaning station all day and tug apart a tough tuna skin? The chore of skinning tuna just became a very simple task. With this fish skinner in the arsenal, that meaty steak is only minutes away and without all the pain.
"Although all fish do not need to be skinned, some fish like tuna can be very difficult to skin. Normally, one would cut around the perimeter of the fish and pull the skin back to the tail, while the head is held securely by some means. The tool that I have developed makes this process so much easier and faster. It takes one person to operate. The tool, which is now patent pending, is very simple. Simply cut the fish around the perimeters per usual and, starting at the head, pull back a small flap of skin. Next, insert the flap of skin into the tool and easily roll off to the tail. You are now ready to cut the loins. Flip the fish over and repeat the process to that side. No more yanking and pulling with slippery hands. You should be able to cut the time in half."
"As a charter boat captain and mate, I have cleaned lots and lots of fish. I have used this tool for a while on tuna and rockfish (striped bass) and it works great. I wish I had this tool a long time ago! I have a friend who is a fish cleaner here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I gave him the tool to try out and now he uses it all the time.
He says "It saves my shoulder muscles"
Try one, you'll be glad you did!

The Outer Banks Spreader Bar
Before you can use the tuna tool you need to catch some tuna, right? How about a specialty spreader bar rigged for tuna with a 200lb leader and swivel instead of rigged bait. It's an easier setup as the rig can be swapped quickly for worn out bait or if something else is needed in a hurry. This spreader bar is rigged by an experienced charter boat captain. This is the same bar used by the Charter Fleet in NC.
Typically a green machine or white moldcraft squid set on a three foot leader are used but anything can be used, even a rigged ballyhoo. The best colors for the Outer Banks are flourescent green, blue/white, or pink and all are available through this website.
