10-12 Hour Trip

Wow it was a beautiful day in the water but the bite was a little slow and the barracudas kept cutting us off , but Caption John and Eddie kept focused on the task and got us some beautiful yellowfin’s on our trip. Our diary time catching these fish. What a fight and one of most delicious fish in the sea. Pelican charters was first rate all the way. I definitely recommend this crew.

Captain and crew worked hard to get bait in the morning. We searched for tuna all day but it wasn’t until almost dusk that we finally hooked up with a yellowfin. After a short 5 minutes my 16yo son boated his largest catch, a 160lb yellowfin!
