Skipjack Tuna for Dinner!
5/5
Caught 2 skipjack tuna on a very slow day.
Capt Dave and Clay were great. Plenty of tuna meat in the two fish to feed our party of 4 for the rest of our vacation out here.
Would highly recommend!

What a great day!
5/5
Four of us went out for the day and had an excellent time! Caption John, Dan and TJ were extremely helpful, answered all our questions, and even made sure we had sunscreen. Three of us caught one skipjack tuna each. The crew really went into action then making sure everything was out of the way and expertly got that fish into the boat for us! That night, we had the best tuna appetizer and dinner ever! Highly recommend the Skillet crew and boat!!!

5/5
Mark and I had a great time fishing with Dan and Kai. Caught our first Wahoo 15 minutes out and the second one 15 minutes later. The Skipjack Tuna fought hard. The boat is amazingly clean, the equiptment looks new and the crew is outstanding and worked hard to make the trip memorable. Highy recommend this boat and crew.
