Tuna Charter West Coast Florida

isitreel · 01-04-2007, 05:24 PM

Looking for a good Tuna or head boat charter out of West coast of Florida.. Lookeed at hubbards which runs a 44 hour trip but mostly grouper and snapper seems like..

ANy suggestions???

The west coast has to run too far to get into tunas to do it, generally. For them to fish them, they've got to go all the way out to Lloyd's ridge, which is something absurd like 200nm from Tampa. Out of Pensacola, Orange Beach, Biloxi, or Venice you can get into tunas MUCH closer. I can give you info on boats out that way if you are interested.

I run out of Venice, La and offer 20 hour overnighters for 1300 plus fuel. Guaranteed yellowfin on the night trips and we generally get 10-12 a night plus a shot at swordfish after were done tuna fishing. Fishing out of a 26 glacier bay center console. Also have a 36 contender available.

how many guys can you comfortably fish on the 26' vs.the 36' and how much more is the contender? what is your favorite month for an overnight trip?

CaptEddie · 01-28-2007, 08:23 PM

The contender is 1700 plus fuel. I fish up to 4 on the glacier bay and 6 on the contender. June is probably my fav month but we slay the yellowfin at night from april-december.
