    Great day on the water!

    We had a great day of fishing with Captain Alex and Miguel! They were an amazing crew. A few in our party got sick but they were patient with us and still helped us get a bunch of tuna! We would definitely book with them again and recommend them to anyone!

    Great fishing

    From start to finish these guys kept our fishing trip fun, safe, professional and made us feel like family. This fishing trip was the best trip I have been on, and I have been fishing my whole life. Highly recommend booking a fishing trip with them, the experience was nothing short of amazing! The captain a “local legend”, Craig, and Keyani couldn’t have been nicer and took pride in their work and it showed! #BaracudaBoy

Game Quality
Average

Skipjack Tuna are fast, hard-fighting game fish that travel in big schools. Anglers love them for rapid strikes, constant action, and great fun on light tackle. If you want steady hook-ups and blistering runs, Skipjack Tuna fishing is a smart choice.

You can target them by trolling small feathers, spoons, plugs, or strips behind the boat. Casting metal jigs or soft plastics into surface feeds also works well. When fish sound, vertical jigging helps reach deeper schools. Live bait like sardines or anchovies is a proven option. Medium spinning or trolling gear with a smooth drag and strong leaders is ideal.

Expect fast-paced action with chances for double or even triple hook-ups. Look for diving birds, rips, temp breaks, and floating debris, which often mark feeding fish. This trip suits beginners, families, and seasoned anglers who enjoy steady bites. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses, layered clothing, and any motion-sickness aids you prefer. Pack a cooler if you plan to keep fish, and follow your crew’s handling tips for fresh, clean fillets.

Rules for Tuna vary by country, state, and local waters. Always check license and permit needs before your trip. Confirm any open seasons, size limits, and daily harvest rules that apply where you will fish. When in doubt, ask your captain and keep only what you plan to eat.
