30 to 50 miles out. Last year was pretty far...50 miles.
I have been enjoying everyone's posts on Tuna as well,, it looks like a heck of a fishery.. This fishery is one of the main reasons I am planning on a bigger boat in the next couple years, something on the 26" range. I am not what one would call a seasoned ocean goer by any means so for myself I would only consider a buddy system before heading out. I plan on booking a charter or two in the next couple years just to se if for sure it is my bag,, I honestly can't see how it wouldn't be,, I mean it's fishing..
Anyways just wanted to thank all you guys for your posts and looking forward to seeing and reading about your adventures this coming season..
Good luck to all and stay safe boys..
You need a couple gaffs too-gaffs have a way of slipping overboard-all that blood.
I agree ! Have one that is 3' & new one that is 18" for a on deck fish handler. I do not like the angles mine have !! Will be buying at least 2 or 3 more . One at least 6' or more. may half to rig it up myself to reach out & get the job done on the odd stubborn fish ! I believe in two or more of everything !!! Including Beer !!!
