Big bluefin!

30 anglers, Full Day offshore: 1 Bluefin Tuna. All different sizes of fish around lately, today we were treated to very nice showing on the 50 to 300 pounders! We hooked 7 of these big fish today and all but one managed to fight their way to freedom. These fish can chew through 100 pound line so please be rigged and ready for everything!

We have limited spots available on a definite go trip Sunday. Reservations recommended to guarantee your spot on the boat. 

Tackle recommendations:
1. A flyline setup with good fresh 30lb monofilament matched with equal test flurocarbon and 1/0 to 2/0 circle hooks. 
2. A 40-50lb outfit with matching flurocarbon for sinker rig fishing using 4-6 ounce torpedo sinkers and heavy duty rubber bands. This rig is also great for 80-120 gram Daiwa Zakana jigs and Shimano colt snipers. 
3. Big Bluefin: 60-100lb outfit with a two speed reel to fish the sinker rig and 180-300 gram knife jigs. 

Departing seven days a week at 5:30am, check-in begins at 4:45am. Passports NOT required. (We also have Coronado Islands trips on the schedule which do require a passport so be sure to check the passport requirements of your trip) Return times may be later than posted. Bunks are available and free of charge, please provide your own bedding if needed. No fuel surcharge.
