There’s nothing like a hot tuna bite. This full‑day, 12‑hour Midshore Tuna (Open Boat) trip from Neptune City lets anglers sample the power and taste of tuna without the long run to the canyons — typically running between 15 and 50 miles offshore and offering trolling, chunking or jigging throughout the season.

Outing Highlights

THE OBJECTIVE

Twelve Hours Chasing Tuna

This is a full‑day, adrenaline‑forward tuna outing: expect a long day focused on locating and fighting midshore tuna within a roughly 15–50 mile range offshore — all aboard an open boat run by Finatic Sport Fishing Charters.

THE METHODS

Troll, Chunk or Jig — Multiple Approaches

Captains deploy a mix of techniques — trolling, chunking and jigging — to put anglers on tuna throughout the day, adapting methods to what’s working in the midshore grounds.

THE EXPERIENCE

Small, Shared Charter — Big Action

Trips are run as shared charters with a small roster, keeping the boat uncluttered and the action focused; the limited passenger count concentrates opportunities at the rail when fish show.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

You board at the marina early, settle into a long day on an open boat, and run out to midshore waters where the captain and crew troll, chunk and jig until you find the bite. Over twelve hours you’ll be working tackles, watching the spread and, when fish hook up, trading blows with powerful tunas brought in by a small team of anglers.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Small GroupsIdeal for small teams or pairs: the trip is limited to five participants, which keeps the boat manageable and maximizes time at the rail.
2
Families (All Ages)The outing is presented as suitable for all ages; small, family groups can participate with appropriate supervision for younger anglers.
3
Solo AnglersSolo anglers will find plenty of attention in a five‑person maximum setting where space and lines are easy to manage.
4
Large GroupsNot a fit for large parties: bookings are capped at five people, so larger groups should consider booking multiple trips or private charters if available.
