westport tuna recomendation
« on: May 25, 2018, 04:42:14 AM »
Looks like I  will be in Westport the end of august, first of sept. Thinking a tuna trip might be in order. A one day trip. Any recommendations for a charter?

I would start by looking at which charters offer a one day trip. I believe many are longer than that. Even if it’s one day of fishing I think they run out the night before and then back in late. The Freedom is an awesome skipper and crew that like to catch fish.

Westport Charters does 1 day trips if the fish are in close enough.

I had a trip on the Hula Girl - I don't know if it is any better or worse than any of the other boats.

 Try All Star River & Salt water charters.
 Mark Colman  is a great skipper. It is a day charter. Leave early in the morning come back same day.

I haven’t done tuna with them just bottomfish, but the Hula Girl is a stand-up operation.

Both of my favorite Westport outfits are mentioned here.

Capt Steve and his son Jason on the Hula Girl are a great option for a day-and-half or longer trip, and Mark Coleman if you want a really fast and fun 6 pack charter experience.  You might even run into one of our own members here running one of his boats.

With your time limitation, I'd give Mark Coleman a call.  :twocents:

Freedom, StarFire, Hula Girl....Great boats. Day trips I believe leave out at midnight, and get back late in the evening. Tons of room to stretch out on the StarFire.

I'll admit I already look at the SST shots.  May is early but late June?  Can't wait!

Another vote for Mark Coleman.  Great experience, all 6 of us caught over 15 tuna each.
