Captain Steve Gawitt aboard the Aztec is returning from a one day charter with 22 yellowfin tuna in the 50-100lb class.

The Eclipse is also returning from a one day charter with 43 yellowfin tuna for only 16 anglers.

The Tribute got into the action today returning with 31 yellowfin tuna.

The San Diego is returning from his three quarter day trip with 7 yellowfin tuna and 2 bluefin tuna (40-50lbs).

If you are planning to make an offshore trip fishing tuna, please make sure to bring a light tackle outfit (20-25lb test and 1-2 size hooks) and also a heavy outfit (50lb and up) just in case you get into the bluefin tuna or the yellowfin tuna want to bite wide open.
