These guys are the best at what they do. All rivers and Saltwater charters offer tuna trips that are quite a bit different than the rest of the big boats. Worth your time to talk with them.

Which ever you choose, make sure it's a live bait trip

I've been out twice with Mark Coleman for tuna.  Absolute blast to get 6 hanging on a bait stop.

I think if you went out on a big boat you would get a little more fishing time, but you'd definitely have a LOT more travel time in there too.  Both times we left the dock at 7am, went out 30-35 miles and just started catching fish.   The first trip we were back at 1 pm, every hold on the boat was stuffed with fish.  Second time we didn't get back until 3pm. 

I believe Mark is now buying the tuna from you that you don't want to take home, as well.  Could help defray some of the cost of the trip.  I came home with 60-70# of loins and bellies each trip.

This is a trip everybody should do once!

I think Darrell used to run one of Mark's boats.  Looks like he has a sweet setup now with that Oceanmaster.

I've been out with Darrell when he ran one of Mark Coleman's boats, he was amazing. I haven't been out with him since he picked up his own boat, though I'm thinking about booking a trip cause he was such a cool captain.  Been out with Jim on the Epic the last 2 years on the opening of Hali and for Lings out of LaPush, Jim is amazing as well, he gets you into fish in the middle of people catching nothing.  Fish with Jim and you will learn a lot, he is very knowledgeable and a great guy. As far as I'm concerned, I wont be spending any other ocean charter money on anyone but these 3 guys.  :twocents:

Mark Coleman's operation is top knotch.  He knows his tuna and how to catch them.  Took 5 eastsiders over last summer and had a blast.  His boats are set up for speed, 1 hr to 1 1/2 hour travel to the tuna grounds then you are in full on action until the boat is plugged.  Its not for the weak, these things fight like nothing we've caught before.

How many fish per person does Mark average?  I like the idea of a faster boat, might give him a try also.  Thanks

We went during weather windows in October, so the fish were a bit bigger.  If I recall correctly, he could hold about 55-60 big albies for 6 guys.  Somebody else could verify that though.

Gann is 100% right.  10 of those albacore in a few hours will get those arms pumped up pretty good.
