Bluefin Tuna

Yokohama F. Marinos · “Marinos” (Japan)

"Marinos" means sailors in Spanish, chosen because Yokohama is a big international port. The club mascot is a seagull called Marinos-kun.

On Futbol Island the bluefin tuna can be caught at:

• South Pier Fishing Station: The old fishing station at the end of the South Pier. Mackerel shoals pass here.
• Harbour Wall: The stone harbour wall behind the farmers market. Deep, cold water for cod and haddock.
• West Cove: A windy cove on the west coast where a little stream meets the sea, so river fish swim in beside the rays and sharks.
• Deep Sea Boat: A little fishing boat moored far out in the deep blue bay, north of the East Jetty. Squid, marlin and stranger things swim far below.
• Summit Deep Boat: A second little fishing boat, moored in the deep channel west of Summit Isle. Green, deep water where tuna, sailfish and marlin hunt the bait balls.
• East Jetty Spiral: The outer curve of the spiral at the end of the East Jetty, out past the farmers market. Deeper water than the shore, so a tuna or an octopus sometimes swims by.
• Channel Bend: The causeway's big bend over the deepest water between the two islands. Shoals swim through the open channel, and now and then a tuna or a little shark follows them.
• Sharks Beach Point: The east end of Sharks Beach, a long kick from the beach-soccer court. The open sea starts here, so tuna and little sharks swim close in.

Size on the island: 80–160 cm.
