It is time to get 2024 started. The first thing we would like to do is welcome Ian Johnson. Ian has signed on as first mate for the 2024 season and we are excited. Will's first job was inshore fishing on the Sea Era at Oregon Inlet with Ian's granddad Captain Dean Johnson. Ian and Will spent a couple of summers alternating trips for Dean before they could drive. Ian continued his work on the Sea Era and eventually spent more time as the captain than the mate.

The giant bluefin tuna fishery is amazing and on the bucket list of many of our charters. We usually schedule our recreational trips after the commercial season is closed. This year the quota closed a little earlier than usual. We are available the second half of febraury and March if anyone wants to get in the action.
