About
- We do recommend that you call to check on current tuna regulations, since they can change throughout the season. Any legal size tuna under 73″ goes to the customer, any tuna over 73″ becomes property of the boat to sell. We often combine tuna trips with striped bass, since the tuna fishery can run ‘hot and cold’.
- Bass fish range in size from 5 to 50 pounds and are strong fighting fish, a lot of fun to catch, and even better to eat! In recent years we have seen an increase in numbers and size of striped bass.
