Biggest, fastest boat to the canyons. Great crew, many years experience. You cant go wrong especially first time out. Call Capt Howard he will get you goin'

Go in the Gambler. Been fishing with them for 40 years. They are good folks and want you to catch. Go to some sponsors taxkle shop and walk around and ask some questions. They want to get you the right equipment because you will be back and back and back. Lol. The more you ask and learn the more you will enjoy. Look around and see
What the guys catching are doing and duplicate it. How far down , how far out. . How much weight what leader etc. keep it simple has worked for me for 30 plus years. Good luck. 🍀

Get on the big boat, A-baum, this time of the year you will be glad you did.

Gambler all the way !!!!!! The guys will help you with everything you need. You don't have to go out and buy anything. Rent a pole and the rigs come with it. Then if you like it you can get your own stuff. Don't be intimated with the "PROS" most guys are more than happy to help you out. The crew has many years of experience and will go out of there way to make sure you have a great trip. Best of luck.

There is absolutely nothing to worry about. most of the fish will be 40-60 lb class. Tuna fishing is not a big deal. Enjoy yourself.

Awesome info everyone. Much appreciated.

So I'm booked in less than 2 weeks. Should I bother to bring any squid, or just go with the provided clams? Going 130-180ft of water supposedly. Would REALLY like to land a cod or pollack, but also a pile of bass.

If they're not providing squid I'd bring some. A few jigs too. And a good book and a pillow.

DUH! What happened to the Tuna trip?

[a-baum]

Seemed like the tuna was spotty and I'd rather catch more smaller fish than roll the dice that I get into a tuna at all.

The right choice, good luck & post a report !
