Tuna School 101 is a multi-day day course that gives you hands on experience instead of just sitting and listening to a fishing seminar. There are two courses to choose from; a three day course with two days on the water and one day of learning the ins and outs of rigging, lure selection and combinations of rod and reels.The second option is a two day course with just one day on the water. The groups are limited to a maximum of four people for each session; this allows for a small, personal setting so we can dive into exactly what you want to learn and move at a speed that works for you. These groups can be private parties or open to individuals. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to the tuna game and seasoned vets that just want to learn a few new tricks for their bag. The class will be focused on both recreational and giant class fishing.

This will give you a better understanding of price points for outfitting your own boat, or how to setup your own custom gear for your next fishing adventure. 

Lunch will be provided after the tackle shop. This will give us some time to review what you’ve learned, and to answer any questions you might still have.
