Fort Bragg Albacore/Bigeye Tuna Trip ( August to October)

Trips are now sold as a first come first serve bookings in advance. We also offer the informational tuna email list announcing potential new dates based on ideal weather and catch information from time to time. Fort Bragg tends to have the warmer currents closer to shore and often more consistent action compared to Bodega Bay. Fort Bragg usually 15 to 45 miles of travel to the fishing grounds and will result in to 10-12 hours on the water depending on the fishing. Overall these trips often have the highest landings of any trip we offer. Is is common for people to fill several large coolers per trip so be prepared and capable of handling large catches. Please note the fishing can be highly variable though and large landing are not always guaranteed. Opportunities for Bigeye Tuna and other exotics are available while albacore fishing. Please contact Capt. Ryan if you have any questions. Please note that weather can be highly variable for these trips, and rescheduling dates several times is common to try and get a fishable day.

Bodega Bay Albacore/Bluefin Tuna Trip (Typically October Through November)

Early in the season we often drive southwest of Bodega Bay up to 50 miles in search of Bluefin schools scattered west the Farallon island or north for albacore tuna, private charters will have the option to chase either species, while open charters will typically take a group vote after the captain discuses the most viable option. Later in the season closer to November, Bluefin and albacore will both typically collect near Cordell banks about 18 to 30 miles west of Bodega bay feeding on anchovies, expect these days to be closer to 10 or 11 hours on the water, we will often try to leave the dock very early to be able to fish before sunrise, or late and fish the evening bite as that is typically the most effective times. Some days we can fish for both albacore and bluefin at the same time if conditions allow.  Bluefin may be quartered at the dock for open charters, but is it is highly recommended that the fish rest on packed ice for at least 18 hours to allow the meat to firm up if possible. Processing with professional vacuum sealing may be offered. Again please contact Capt. Ryan if you have any questions. Please note that weather can be highly variable for these trips, and rescheduling dates is common to try and get a fishable day.

Our captains and crew work very hard to catch you fish and provide you with a safe and fun day of fishing. Any gratuities at the end of the day are greatly appreciated. (A gratuity of 15-25% of your trip total is customary)
