I did a day trip with All rivers and capt. Mark Coleman. I would give that group 2 thumbs up. Out of Westport.
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.

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've been out twice with Mark Coleman for tuna. Absolute blast to get 6 hanging on a bait stop.How many fish per person does Mark average? I like the idea of a faster boat, might give him a try also. Thanks

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

I don't know about averages, but we went the last day of August this year and six fishermen boated 56 nice sized tuna. The boat was full at that time and we couldn't hold anymore, capt said ok we're done and we were in the middle of a humongous bait pod and school of tuna. I was spent about 10 fish before that. What a work out. I was exhausted. Not to mention I spent the first bit of the fishing "chumming" ( I was the only one on the boat that did. oh well, fished my way through it)I've been out twice with Mark Coleman for tuna.

I trimmed and packaged mine when I got home, weighed them after vacuum sealing and right at 80 lbs.
