What type of Offshore do you prefer?

[Fritz]

Just wondering what some guys prefer. Do you prefer billfising or tuna fishing and why?

[whitey]

If I never saw another tuna again I would be the happiest guy in the world. They make a mess of the teak cockpit.

Both! To me an awesome offshore trip would be a nice 3 bagger of YFT's in the morning and then some white/blue marlin action in the afternoon. I respect and enjoy both species fighting and feeding style. There is just something about how a tuna rips line off the reel in the first run and the acrobats of a greyhounding billfish.

tuna more fish and better fight!!!!! but when u do get that one billfiash its worth it!!!

[Jared D]

Only one shot at a bill fish to date (swing... foul ball), so I would like to bust my cherry on that. I do love YFT though. Really awesome, expecially when you get some that have some heft to them!

[floridadeckie]

trolling for YFT is all good and fun, but nothing gets my blood boiling like watching big mama blue leave a hole where my left short was and then feeling her strength on the wire. If I get to throw steel it makes like even better, cuz that means I'm getting $$$$$$$$$$

No experience with any billfish at all, i'm sure if the opportunity arose, it would be another addiction, just as tuna are now. Gotta love fishing for Giants in DEEP water, nothing else pulls like they do when they want the bottom!

Ditto, what Whitey said

You just need someone to come show you how to catch those tuna
Then you will change your mind.
I'll even bring all my red albacore flags to fly on your laundry line.....

You would rather fish with your Idol anyway.

I'm with you Whitey. I'd much rather be catching billfish.
