The dates are Saturday Feb 23 with a weather date of Sunday Feb 24. If weather is a factor I'll rescheuled the trip for sometime in March.
The reason for fishing this time of year is that the tuna are huge and range from 80 to 200 lbs.
Captain Eddie who runs a 36 Palmetto out of Venice is a very respectible captain in that area. He's on this forum and I'm sure he will keep us updated on his catches.
Here are some links for the area:
