  • Overnighter...

    Thinking about doing an overnight trip on the Robalo... double limits and hopefully some good night fishing is what I'm after... How far out do I have to be at night in order to get into some black fin tuna? Never hooked into a Tuna and would like to take a trip with Blackbeard and Beach Bum Bailey out there

        I would say go atleast to the Tequila rig if your going after some blackfin. My buddies went out 55 mile yesterday and they saw some blackfin around the boat but never hooked up into any.

        We went to Boomvang a few weeks a load the boat full of blackfin and a handful of yellowfin. They are a blast to fight, never had anything pull as hard as they do.

        We are going out of Freeport Sunday about 55 miles to fish some bottom structure. Good luck to yall and be safe

          What's your range Coe? I have a 125 gallon tank and best I've done is a little over 60 miles.
          "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.

            Coe, I would probably head to tequilla if you have the range. I think that would be a more "sure bet" then any other ones, I woudl think.

              You cannot keep a double limit on a private boat. That rule only applies to head boats, or "documented vessels" with two or more licensed captains on board.

                Are you serious Tiny? I always heard you get double limits if you spend the night out there... So if I have my captains license and Cody is getting his will that make us legal? Did I miss this when reading the Federal rules??

                  Only if your on a charter, and then your limits I believe cannot not be retained, as you come through State waters.

                  guides limits do not apply, on a non charter ..... but then your back to single limits

                    BTW

                    Black fin can be found at teqeila and cerveza almost year around.

                    Once the shrimp boats start coming in to 200' of water, you can find them on the boats...

                    (dont forget the case of cheap beer for shrimp trade)

                    I do a number of over night charters every year, mainly for yellow fin, on Top waters
