Our overnight trip delivered big time. The Bluefin Tuna were biting and the crew hustled all night to make sure we stayed on them. Great vibes and a well-run operation.

I didn't catch as many fish as I would hope for on this 4 hour charter, however still caught some sizable fish and wasn't for lack of effort from the Captain. Fish just weren't biting as much as I had hoped going into the day.

Captain showed up about 10 minutes late or it would have been a 5 star. He knew the area like the back of his hand and put us on the fish. Great day either way, most likely will be booking again soon.
