Tuna out of Venice

[Kingfisher789]

What are those Tuna worth to the buyer?

Have you fished with Capt. Mike? We fished with him a couple years ago and goose egged both days. Never again.

Ouch! It happens. I've been on several off shore trips that were flops. Off shore is like that, it's usually really good or really bad.

We just got back yesterday from fishing with Mexican Gulf Fishing Co. Had 6 people and trip was 2300 plus almost 2000 in fuel, then plus tip. Ended up about 850-900 per person. Had a blast but dirty water is way out. Had to run 85 miles out. Fuel was 5.75 a gallon I believe at the marina. Those Freeman’s are bad ***** boats!

How much meat did you each get? Looks great!

We had 8 tuna and my buddy and I’s share was probably 50 lbs worth. I love it so good with me!

$18 a lb. Not bad, but that would really suck if you strike out and get skunked or only get a couple small fish.

[Hendo]

Agreed… that’s why you go with Mexican Gulf. **** near guaranteed! Yellowfin is 26/lb in Katy according to a buddy we went with?

That “free” gas increase will just come off the top, one way or another.

Yes, but they have yet to buy me a 37’ Yellow Fin with trip 300’s…….


FYI, I pay personal mileage back to the company per the IRS rules, so, not exactly ‘free’.

No I have never fished with him. Just heard him on the radio.

Thanks for the info.

Lol! I’m way too cheap!! I like the ocean perch rates!!

I want to come fish with you. Will probably be late Fall or more likely Spring next Spring
