They call it fishing, not catching, but the skippers really look hard for fish. Nothing is ever a lock.

I went out on a 6-pack, and three of the folks were seasick from the first morning on and did little fishing. The one Boeing employee and his wife who did not get sick, along with me fished the entire time. We caught 87 tuna between the three of us, but split our catch evenly with the boat. I don't know what I would have done with 37 tuna.

Check to see if the boat you are fishing from uses "meat lines" and outriggers. The boat I went on had both, plus our hook and line gear. It was a blast.

If you go, bring two rods and a few reels. I'd suggest 5000 series and larger Abu's. It will cut down on the wear and tear on your body.
