Having been on over 20 tuna trips on the Francis Fleet, its no day at the beach! Had some limit trips and some no fish trips. Bring some squid jigs. Live squid always seemed to be the best bait. Try to sleep on the way out cause we fished from 4 pm to approx 8am. The bite might turn on at any time so You don't wanna be in the rack when it happens. To have a good chance to get some fish You have to stay up for 16 hrs. I love My beer, but only bring monster or other power drinks to stay up for the night. Also bring one of those throwable boat cushions to sit on. Good luck Guys! One thing i'd bring the next time is a line counter that clips on the rod. When the Capt says marking at 120 its hard to judge without one. The Gal next to me nailed em cause she had one and I didn't.
