36 Hour Tuna Report

Viking FiveStar 36 Hour Tuna
Captain Steven Jr reports we just got in this morning from a phenomenal 36 hr tuna trip with Captain James Schinder and friends. We had lock and load fishing all day yesterday making a quick limit of yellow fin in the 50-70 lb range and a pair of big eyes, one around 150 lbs and the other weighing in at 258lbs!!! It seemed like we always had at least on fish on for most of the day and as many as 7 on at times! Fishing keeps getting better here and we are looking forward to getting back on them after this blow.

24 Hour Tuna Report

Viking FiveStar 24 Hour Tuna
Captain Steven Jr reports an excellent tuna trip this past Tuesday. Although it was a short trip, we stayed a little longer to put in more time and it totally paid off. We had a couple yellows on the green stick early in the day and in the afternoon we had a slammer chunk bite! We were pretty much hand feeding them bait off the back of the boat and ended up putting 18 yellowfins from 45-70lbs in the boat before we called it a trip. We are looking forward to getting back out there to get back on them. Looks like we are in for a good September chunk bite here after a long tough summer season. There are still some spots open on some of the split charter trips and only a few available dates open for private trips. So book now before its too late!

36 Hour Tuna Report

We had another decent tuna trip this week. We ended up with 2 nice yellowfins, 2 albacore, a bunch of nice mahi mahi and we raised 5 white marlin. The night bite still isn't going yet, but the troll has been keeping us busy!

36 Hour Tuna Report

Tuna fishing remains slow after our last couple trips there has been a lot of life around but no numbers of tuna. We have seen a couple albacore and yellow fin around but not many. We did had good numbers of quality mahi a hand full of white Marlin and some wahoo. We are hoping to see an improvement in the fishing after this full moon.

36 Hour Tuna- Viking Fivestar
Capt Steven Sr reports that we ended up putting a decent trip together considering how tuna fishing has been way off. We covered a lot of ocean and only found 1 yellow fin. We did however find a nice mixed bag of pelagics. We ended up with 25 BIG mahi with a few around 20lbs, 3 nice wahoo and 9 fat little pup swordfish. So despite the slow tuna bite everyone ended up going home with a variety of excellent fish.

24 Hour Tuna Report

We just got in last night from an good 24 hr tuna trip! With the questionable weather reports and slow canyon reports we fished inshore and put a good trip together. We had our limit of blue fins and picked up a couple smaller yellow fin. We played catch and release with a bunch of over 47" blue fin in the later half of the trip.
