To target Bluefin Tuna, Sharks, groundfish, or Whale watching, requires a longer run to offshore banks. These trips typically require a 45 – 60 minute run to the fishing grounds, and become much more dependent upon favorable weather patterns. However, when conditions are right, offshore trips offer a whole new world of opportunity. Because of the longer run, a 6-hour trip is a minimum, with 8 hours being the norm, and 10 hrs a norm for serious tuna fishing
