- 5.0/5(4 Hour Bottom Fishing Trip (AM))
Amazing family trip
Great trip had by the family. Caught lots of fish. The captain and Tony were great with the kids
- 5.0/5(6-hour AM Trip)
Amazing Fishing Trip - Will Repeat
We caught 2 yellowfin tuna, 18 blackfin tuna, 3 Skipjack Tuna, and one good size Wahoo. We were catching so many fish, that the captain (Orlando) threw the SkipJack Tuna at another boat to keep them away. Seriously, he shared the SkipJack Tuna with another boat because they are great bait and we had plenty of fish. Will come again and for this boat (which is fast) and Captain Orlando because he was great to keep us in fish and fun to be with!

Super entspannter Angeltag mit schönem Fang
Ich wurde pünktlich von Captain Yoan abgeholt. Nach einem etwas schleppenden Morgen, an dem sich die Crew alle Mühe gab, Fische ausfindig zu machen, entwickelte sich der Ausflug zu einem ereignisreichen und erfolgreichen Vormittag. Wir konnten mehrere Bonitos und Goldmakrelen (Mahi-Mahi) fangen. Vielen Dank an Captain Yoan und die Crew für den schönen Tag und die tolle Tour!
About Skipjack Tuna fishing
If you've ever eaten canned tuna, Skipjack was most likely in it. It's among the smallest fish in the Tuna family, but it makes up for it in quantity and quality as a game species.
The Skipjack is an extremely sociable creature. Asides from mostly swimming with their own in schools of up to 50,000 fish, they frequently swim with Blackfin or Yellowfin Tuna, but also with sharks, whales and, sometimes, flotsam.
This is not the most sought after Tuna sportfishing species, but it is of tremendous commercial importance, with major fisheries in the US, Europe, Africa and Asia.
How big
One of the smaller types of Tuna, the Skipjack reaches a maximum of about 43'' in length and 76lbs in weight. The average catch will be around 30'' and between 18 and 22lbs.
When & Where
This is a widespread species that can be found in tropical and temperate waters between 58 and 86°F worldwide. They prefer the open ocean, and so can't be found in the Mediterranean and Black seas, Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
They spawn year-round in the tropical zone, and seasonally in greater latitudes.
How to catch
Being primarily harvested comercially, the Skipjack is mostly a recreational fishing bycatch. If targeting this species, jigging will be good for reaching the larger fish deeper down, but trolling live or strip baits, feathers, plugs or spoons will be the most effective method for catching schooling fish.
Skipjack are easily scared, so, once you spot the school, the trick is to circle around it with the boat and allow the baits to drift through it. If no school is spotted yet, the baits should be trolled far behind the boat.
Good to eat?
Light meat, sold canned worldwide. If fresh, should be bled before cooking. Moderate levels of mercury contamination, should not be consumed in large quantities.
Regulations
Season - always open;
Size limit - none;
Bag limit (per angler per day) - none;
