re: Small Sportfishing Boat

Fished out of fourchon the past 20 years on a CABO 35 flybridge. We caught a good bit of billfish. It’s a long ride out but fun as hell. If you go all the way out there you are going to start trying to find the yellowfin at night which for the past 10 years have seemed to be about 20-40 miles past the range of that Cabo… it was a 95 Cabo so maybe the range on newer models has improved. Plenty of great trips to MARS and Brutus and Frontrunner. Plenty of blackfin to catch at these rigs too. Gets some cedar plug daisy chains. 20 lbs blacking all day on those.

But to make that fuel bill more worth it you are going to end up wanting some yellowfin while you are out there to bring home some meat. Can be as simple as a fuel bladder but look at the range needed to Marco Polo and shenzie in green canyon and other long range rigs in Mississippi canyon.

There might not be yellowfin where you catch a marlin… but there will almost always be a marlin around where you are catching yellowfin.

Then after that you are going to start getting the deep drop itch if the yellow fin meat haul is out of range…..
