Not an unreasonable price if there is a good chance of getting on to a fish. The thing that would hold me back is the catch and release aspect. It's not that I want to kill everything, but neither do I want to play a large fish to exhaustion just for fun. Just my personal ethics. No judgement of others.

That's fair enough,the price was for September (peak season)trips,and the boat had plenty of hook ups,hope i can wangle it for 2025.I have been in a boat surrounded by hundreds maybe thousands of tuna showing on the surface once before,incredible just to experience never mind catch one.

Would be a vey cool experience. Despite having caught a few, I've never seen it myself. A mate saw big tuna busting up all over the place the other day, he said it was an incredible sight with diving gannets, dolphins and baitfish thrown in to the mix. Interestingly though, they couldn't get the tuna to hit the lures they were casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
