The past few days we have been offshore - Friday the tuna bite was definitely off, so we went in search of som mahi and managed to get some in the boat. Saturday was much better for the yellowfin tuna. We only had a few guys out with us today and had our limit of yellowfin and were back at the dock by 12:30. We had 9 bites and 6 made it in the boat. We had a nice bigeye smoke us pretty good today. The fishing is just getting better and better each day. Don't miss out - Book your charter today!
