Introduction To Albacore & Bluefin Tuna: Live Bait & Jigs

Many anglers haven't fished long range style because they don't think they'll enjoy the trip. "How can you stay on a boat for ten days or more?" some ask.

The truth is that time on a long range boat is relaxing, productive and enjoyable. You don't have to spend a long time aboard to learn if you like it. Bill Roecker's new Fishing Long Range 101 is an introduction to long ranging. Here you'll see that a short trip of a day and a half to three or four days will take you to fishing that's more comfortable and exciting than any you've had before, and it comes with some of the world's best guides and equipment.

Learn about long range style fishing for tuna, yellowtail and dorado from Bill Roecker and the skippers and crew aboard Royal Star and Searcher, two of San Diego's best-known long range sportfishers. During early summer, you don't have to spend two weeks or more at sea to catch fish! You'll be fishing within hours of clearing San Diego Bay. On a day and a half trip, traveling is at night and the day is all about fishing. See how to bait and cast to feeding tuna, how to play and land 'em. Enjoy stateroom quarters and chef-prepared meals served at your table. You'll have more fun and stay out of tangles with a polite crewman at your side as you play your tuna! See bluefin tuna and albacore leaping out of the water just a cast away!
