1st tuna ?

What is the best time to go for yellow fin tuna? We have a guy at work trying to put together a charter and we've been told everthing from the first week of June was the best to the middle of the summer??? I know there is no guarantee when it comes to catching but if we're going to do a trip I'd like to go at prime time. Thanks

Later in the season if you are leaving from NE.
Figure after the 4th of July for best odds. 99% trolling. After Labor day there will be a better chance of getting fish chunking (reliably)

we're hoping to run in the second half of June, but the water is still mostly unfished, and we need to shake the boat down a few times.
(and we aren't charter, so don't contact us).

given the weather, one option are the head boat trips, maybe b/c they get washed out less...

Several of us have signed up for a Helen H trip mid-Sept. Look for the thread.

Late August/September is usually a good time.

It really depends on the eddy's and the water in the Canyon but I agree September is the month I would pick a charter.

Thanks guys I thought it would be later than the 1st week of June.
