Too much money and too long a ride for hit or miss.

It is a safari

You pay your money and takes your chances

I've had slamming trips and some duds. But I've always looked at it as an adventure most people will never experience.

I haven't been out to the canyons in a while but....pilot whales, whales, porpoise, marlin, swordfish, tuna, sharks. The realm of Neptune himself. The awesome sunsets and sunrises. The salty crisp smell of the deep blue. War birds, Navy ships, cargo containers. To me there is no better place to be, no cell phones.
The night breeze, the endless amount of stars. Mahi and squid shooting through the weeds at night lit up in a rainbow of colors. No better place on earth.

Catching a tuna is but a small part of the experience.

I have made about 60 canyon runs over the years maybe a few more. 35/40 trips have been successful in catching. The rest was a nice boat ride ! 1 the ride sucked, got caught coming back in 15/20 footers thank God for that Lydia construction. Seen some ausome stuff out there from giant whale sharks to tiny birds, sunrise to sunset views in every direction. The cost has gotten a little high. I want to say my first trip cost $150. Bacardi runs was 125 or so! Boy times have changed. I have slowed Down a little bit still enjoy that 4-6 hour ride out and boy I never sleep so good.

I am actually glad it isn't easy and we don't come home with fish every time... or there would be even more boats out there and more people with the great stories and pictures like I have earned by spending a lot of $$$ and a lot of time at the rail. I always tell people I have had more bad trips than good but wow were the good ones good. Always a good idea to book 4 trips and maybe get out on 2-3 or all 4 if you are lucky.
