Capt. Price specializes in Yellowfin tuna fishing charters from late March through August. World class charter fishing for Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Slammer Dolphin and both Blue and White Marlin exists just two hours from the St. Lucie Inlet. Situated on the East side of the Gulfstream, as close as 60 miles, cold water eddies interact with warm Gulfstream water creating a fishing frenzy second to none. Plankton and bait gather in these eddies providing an endless food source for Tuna, Dolphin, Wahoo and Marlin. When it is timed right this is an amazing sight seeing all the tuna frothing and jumping out of the water just yards from the boat. One good pass and 6 fish on and the battle for dinner begins. Tuna are an extremely powerful fish testing any anglers skills and strength but the end reward out ways all the grunt work. Fishing a Tuna charter from late March through August will give you the opportunity to limit out on Yellowfin Tunas. Yellowfin tuna this time of year average around 40lbs with encounters of 100 plus pound fish common. Dolphin or Mahi-Mahi are a common by-catch to the Yellowfin Tuna and can often become a nuisance. These fish average 25lbs with 50lb fish making regular appearances in the fishing spread. The biggest fish we will encounter on the East side charters are Blue Marlin. I hope to encounter a Blue Marlin every trip. These big guys are there feeding on the tuna and dolphin we are also targeting for dinner. By the end of the season we usually average a bite a trip with great trips having 3 or more bites in a single day. The average size Blue Marlin is 175lbs and is an exciting battle of 50lb stand-up tackle. This past season two anglers battled, caught and released a 500lb Blue Marlin after a two hour fight. Before that we caught a limit of Yellowfin Tuna by 11 in the morning. Come and get yours! All Marlin are catch and release only. In the later months Blue Marlin are still encountered along with Dolphin but your odds do decrease from the earlier months. Tuna typically push a little closer later in the season and big fish will be encountered the entire season.
