Anyone have any suggestions on who to book a trip with and what time of year to catch a good mixed bag of big fish. Thanks

Second this outfit but we had Scott as our captain. They made it a fun day of fishing for tuna.

Seems like the breakdown was 1300 for charter, 1100 for fuel (we had to go about 45 miles out and trip 350 Yamahas burn some gas), 300 for houseboat to sleep in, and 300 for deckhand tip and some ice. Gas and rates fluctuate I'm sure so it may be completely different now for all of the above. However we all had a great time, caught some nice fish, and would definitely use them again.

just talked with kevin yesterday on booking a trip, and it was 1500 plus fuel. He stated right now they are burning 120-140 gallons of fuel a day (diesel is 4.12 a gallon).

This is what I just got from Scott:
Our rates are $1300 plus fuel for 1-4 anglers and $1500 plus fuel for
5-6 anglers.

Ours was 1500 plus 500 in fuel. We tipped the hand around 300 i believe. Well worth it. We caught 4 good yellowfins in the 70-100 pound range, 4 decent blackfin, some dolphin and 2 Wahoo. We werent looking to catch anything else.
