Post by: Remnar on August 19, 2022, 07:17:53 PM: Yes, thats what im going for . It used to be no problem finding boats to buy from and alot of times could even get the Captains # and tenative fishing schedule if you wanted to preorder.

I dont have any of the old contacts that I used to use and the last few years I havent been able to find anything fresh while ive been down there or any reliable info on where to get "slush" packed fish.

Sometimes charters/ commi guys will do last minute dock sales but rarely because of the demand for tuna..
I'll do some checking around.

Yes maybe my brain is just stuck in the old days (10 years and before). As im sure you know what it was like .

But even 5 years ago it seemed there were options for good fish . The last few years I havent been able to turn up anything reasonable for price/quality .

But then again what is these days .
