You can expect to catch species like Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, black sea bass cobia, dolphin , gray snapper, and sharks depending on what fish are most abundant. Your creel limits will not be as much as three quarter or full day trips. It is a good trip for the first timer to see how you react the the environment most notably sea sickness.

Blue fin tuna trips are run from the 5 to 25 mile range and leave the dock at 5:30am. We'll be back around 1:00pm. These are some serious fish for the serious die hard fisherman. We use stand up gear 80–130lb tackle. You might hook up with a fish or you may go all day without a knockdown. If you do get a hold of one, it will probably be the biggest fish you will ever catch. You may keep one under 73” a day but must release any that are 73” and over.
