About
Tuna fishing is the ultimate all day offshore fishing adventure.We recommend this trip only for experienced anglers who are comfortable offshore with potentially rough weather. With these trips we primarily target School to medium size (50-150 lb) Bluefin tuna on spinning and stand up tackle. Some days we may troll or live bait, but we focus on vertical jigging with lite tackle. In the later season, we may also have opportunities to catch yellowfin tuna and Mahi-Mahi. These extended day trips will take us anywhere from 10-60 miles offshore. While we normally target school size Bluefin, we are equipped to target Giants when the opportunity arises (normally in the fall).
