I'm going Wednesday with Hunter Caballaro of Paradise Outfitters. What can I expect? We are going after tuna and I think we will be hitting the snapper on the way in. Has anyone been recently?

hes the best. you can expect to get in on some yellowfin and to catch your two per person limit of snapper. not sure how far out your going with him but they have been killing the swordfish as well

I was at the Venice marina about two weeks ago and every boat that came in slammed the Yellowfin and Red Snapper.

The Yellowfin bite seems to be on fire lately. Hunter is a great Capt. and you should have a great trip.

I had to bump this thread. We absolutely smashed the fish with Paradise Outfitters. Our guide was Renee and our deckhand was Chip. We put 13 tuna in the box by 9:30, averaging 50lbs with 2 right at 80lbs. We tried for swordfish for a few hours but no hookups. We then hit a quick limit of solid snapper and were back to the camp with fish cleaned by 3:00. Great trip all around. I'll try to post pics in a few.
