A full day out +/- 15 – 30 nm out into the deep. We target Yellow Fin Tuna which range in size from 20 – 100 kg. We leave the harbour early and run out to the warm waters of the Aghalus current where we drop the big guns and trawl. We spend a lot of time and effort ensuring that we have the best tackle (tackle failure is unacceptable), the best spread and that we are on top of our game providing our keen fisherman a day to remember for ever. Top tackle, top boat, top day.
