    (3/4 Day Trip highly recommended)

    Great fishing trip

    We Caught a ton of mahi and even a sailfish. The first mate did a amazing job was always working having stuff ready. These guys know how to find fish.

    (4 Hour – Shared Boat FISHING)

    Experiencia inolvidable

    Una experiencia para repetir sin duda. A mi hijo y a mí, nos gusta la pesca, y queríamos exerimentar pescar en barco a ver si podíamos coger alguna captura buena fuera de orilla. Sin duda mi hijo tuvo la suerte de coger dos bonitos de unos 3 kg tirando a 4kg. En el barco te dan un bocadillo con refresco o cerveza, la tripulacion fueron muy agradables, muy buena gente. Fue una bonita experiencia que recomiendo si te gusta la pesca.

    Best Captain in the Harbor

    Captain Seth is the best. Made everything simple and fun. We had an excellent time. Boat is perfect setup. Captain Seth’s knowledge and experience made everything great. He outperforms. Loved it. And, he has great stories :-)

Bigeye Tuna fishing draws anglers who want power, speed, and rich meat. This hard-fighting game fish lives in warm, open oceans and forms fast-moving schools. It’s known for deep daytime habits, explosive strikes, and strong stamina. Many anglers target Bigeye Tuna for the chance at a long battle and high-quality fillets.

Common tactics include trolling, chunking, and jigging. Trolling means pulling lures or baits behind the boat to cover water. Chunking is drifting with cut bait to create a scent trail. Jigging uses heavy metal lures dropped deep, then worked upward to trigger strikes. crews often fish temperature breaks, seamounts, canyons, and fish-attracting devices. Dawn, dusk, and night can be prime when Bigeye rise to feed.

Expect a serious workout and coordinated teamwork once a fish is on. Bigeye Tuna make long runs and stubborn circles near the boat. This suits anglers who enjoy bluewater fishing and want a challenge. Captains usually supply heavy tackle, harnesses, and safety gear. Bring sun protection, a hat, non-marking shoes, layers, snacks, and a camera. If you get seasick, consider medication. Be ready to listen, as clear crew direction helps land more fish.

Rules vary by region and can change. Before your trip, check local license or permit needs, and learn the current season, harvest, and reporting rules. Ask your captain what is covered on board and what you must bring. Responsible Bigeye Tuna fishing starts with knowing and following the regulations where you plan to fish.
