Bluefin Tuna are up first!
The Bluefin Tuna are expected to arrive in mid to late June. Most certainly we will head far south into Mexican waters and the outer banks, but we will be far offshore, so no passport will be required.
Recommended trips are 1.5 day, and Multi-Day for the early runs in June. A 50 foot class six pack is needed for this kind of trip. Check out the Nomad, Easter B, and Tail Magnet for starters.
If you want to cut down on time or cost, you should opt for the faster, smaller, four pack tuna express boats. The faster four pack boats can scoot you out to the tuna grounds and back in only 12 hours (a full day trip), especially the Erin Anne! Also check out the Arlin F, Dead Eye, and Kraken.
The Yellowfin Tuna are expected to arrive in mid to late July. Optimal trips for this species start with a minimum full day 12 hour trip, with an overnight or 1.5 day trip highly recommended. We expect this year to be especially good for this species due to a predicted hot summer and unusually warm waters. This fish is mostly hunted on the troll, with visual sightings, and using side scan sonar, but occasionally they show up on the kelp beds. Regardless of how or where, you can be sure that this fish will put up a great fight and taste great!
