A huge shoal of Tunny were seen off the North East coast about 20 years ago. These fish were about 50 to 60 miles off.
In the heyday of the tunny fishing off the North East coast people came from all over the world to try their luck. Possibly the most famous was John Wayne, many other film stars, politicians also writers like Zane Grey came.
The headquarters for the British Tunny Club was at Scarborough until the early fifties, the building is now a fish and chip shop, I believe there is a tunny club museum in the basement.
There is no reason why these fish shouldn't still run past our coastline as they use the same migratory route each season and have done for more or less ever.
