TRIP DESCRIPTIONS
3-6 Day Trips
Trips of 3 to 6 days duration aboard the Excel typically range south to offshore tuna grounds, possibly Guadalupe Island, or along the Baja Coast, visiting such islands as San Martin, Geronimo, Cedros and San Benitos.
During the late spring, expect the action to be best for Yellowtail, Yellowfin Tuna and a variety of other species around the islands, with the good chance of intercepting schools of Bluefin Tuna and Albacore. Summer into the fall is prime time for migratory runs of all tuna species. Yellowtail and Dorado are also found around floating kelp paddies.
7-10 Day Trips
Our 7 to 10-day trips offer the most variety in fishing action as we explore the southwestern Baja coastline from San Pablo to Magdalena Bay, often with a run out to Alijos Rocks. Â These trips are usually scheduled for early summer, and again throughout the fall months. Fishing along the inside "ridge" is outstanding for big Wahoo, Yellowtail, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna and Marlin, with Pargo and giant Grouper being the reward for those dropping bait to the bottom. Alijos Rocks is a hot spot for Yellowfin Tuna in the 100-pound class, Wahoo, and world record size Yellowtail.
12+ Day Trips
12+ day trips aboard the Excel target the very finest Yellowfin Tuna and Wahoo fishing in the world, ranging over 1,000 miles south to such exotic locales as Hurricane Bank, Puerto Vallarta, Cleofus Bank, or even beyond the remote Clipperton atoll. From these prolific tropical waters, Capt. Bill Poole has returned with numerous record catches for his passengers, including the IGFA all-tackle world record Yellowfin Tuna which stood for many years and only recently beat. In the 1970's and 1980's, 200 pounds was the challenge. Now, with modern technology, gear and less fish lost, Yellowfin can easily reach 300 pounds and even surpass the 400 pound mark.  Scheduled from winter to spring, these longest of the long-range trips offer the ultimate in big game fishing.
