Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How often do you encounter a big billfish?

A. On the average, every third day.  But we usually get a good bit of action even on days we don't get the big billfish.

Q. Can you target particular types of fish?

A.  We sure can.  We can find you mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, marlin -- whatever you're after.

Q. How long is the average fight?

A. For the really big guys, the average fight is about an hour -- although we had one fight last 36 hours (and that one got away!).

Q. What's the biggest fish you've ever landed?

A.  More than 1000 pounds.  Fish in the 900-1000 pound range are not uncommon.  In fact, we were the first boat to land a "grander" (fish exceeding a thousand pounds) in 2003.

Q. What's the largest number of fish you've ever caught on one excursion?

A.  We once pulled in 118 yellowfin tuna weighing from 6-20 pounds each. 

Q. What kinds of baits do you use?

A. We use both lures and live bait.

Q. Do you guarantee I'll catch a big fish?

A. Nope, but we guarantee you'll have a great time!

Q. If I catch a fish, do I get to keep it, or do you sell it to defray your costs?

A.  We always share out our fish rather than keep it.
