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.
Six-Pack Charters VS. Party Boats
People often ask me, “Why is going on a private or open-party six-pack charter so much more expensive, then say buying a couple of tickets on a big party boat?” I have decided to delve into this common question and explain why private six-pack charters are the VIP ride of the fleet. SPEED & RANGE - The number one reason to choose a six-pack fishing boat is that they go fast. We are talking a cruising speed of 15 knots and flank speed of 21+ knots (for when you need to haul ass three miles to hop on your buddies radio call-in). What this translates too, is more fishing time, and less travel time. Or… even better yet, the same travel time, and extended range. Either way, you win by having more time with your hook in the water. HEADCOUNT - When you hop on one of the open party boats out of Point Loma or Mission Bay, you can expect to be joined by up to 20-60 of your closest friends, shoulder to shoulder for the rest of the day. Not so on a six-pack fishing boat, it’s only you and
