We provide Sardines and Butterfish as tuna bait.

31-HOUR CANYON TUNA/MAHI TRIPS – 28 Passenger Limit
We also offer 31-hour canyon tuna/Mahi trips, with a 28-passenger limit, during September, October, and November. These trips offer anglers more fishing time and are one of the best values going. When we first arrive at the fishing grounds, we usually spend the afternoon fishing for Mahi-Mahi or possibly tuna if there has been an afternoon bite. The decision on what to fish for will be the captain’s choice, depending on the conditions. We usually set up for tuna just before sunset and fish for tuna through the night and into the early morning, which works out to between 12 and 15 hours of fishing time for tuna alone.
We have a limited number of sleeping bunks available, but there is also plenty of room in the cabin to sleep. We recommend bringing a sleeping bag or blanket and pillow. There is a snack bar on board with a limited menu and a microwave available for use. Reservations are required for these trips.
The fare is $440, with tuna rod rentals available for an additional $25. We provide Sardines and Butterfish as bait.
Recommended fishing tackle for tuna, Mahi-Mahi, and squid & bait fishing is also available.
