Amazing day
Full Day Trip – Bare Bones on July 25, 20252 adults4 children

Fin Chaser knows how to put you on fish. The Captain and Mate made this a once in a lifetime trip for my family. We put double digit yellow fin in the boat and saved a Dorado for last.We relised we pick the right boat within the first 20 mins with a few quick warm ups but then we got into the tuna. We started with no boats within a quarter mile and within minutes everyone was next to us because we found the schools. We had 9 and 11 year old girls and 12 year boy, the Mate had them battling tuna on their own within minutes. Truly an amazing experiencece one for the record books that the whole family will remember. Thank you Fin Chaser for exceeding our expectations.
