- Join Craig and the crew of the Old Reliable as they venture upwards of 75 miles offshore to chase tuna off the coast of New Jersey.
In this episode Craig and crew find themselves in search of yellowfin tuna in August of 2014.
This is one of the best fishing video that I've ever seen on TH-cam. A video with real information, not a bunch of music that has nothing to do with fishing. Well done, sir.
Yep
Dude, you have probably have the best cinematography in fishing I've ever seen. This video is outstanding
just found your video. I must say it is is broadcast TV quality. Nicely done!
Love how u move your hands like marciano when telling the story lol
Great video! I fish out of great kills, si. you have guts going that far with a single engine. Looks like you’re very knowledgeable. Stay safe out there.
I have a 27 with twin 350s these days, but the guy that owns this boat still fishes it offshore. Of course you have to be a little nuts to be into this kind of fishing to begin with.
Great Vid.. I run a 21ft Robalo off of Long Island, I havent had the best of Luck with Tuna (lost 1 after 25min and Lost 1 after 5 min), but, this year, Im coming home with one. I also work a 9-5 and have to choose my days wisely. Best of luck !
Love it yall.. Im about to take my Sea Ox 18D out (kidding my boys has a 30 pursuit) !! good stuff yall
Great video! Just got my '29 sea hunt! I learned alot thanks again
Great video! I also run a 23' CC in New Jersey, so I can appreciate your preparations and testing limits when heading offshore.
That's why I'm grateful I fish out of Oregon Inlet NC. I fish a 23 ft center console as well but I can get into yellowfins, bigeyes, wahoo, mahi, as well as billfish 30 to 35 miles offshore.
Awesome video dude , keep em coming! Maybe in the future you could explain what rigs to use ? I’m a noob at offshore and could use any pointers. Thanks Craig!
Awesome video l to work all week also so I am limited to weekends or days off this season I spending all my time offshore
Well Done. Very informative. Looks like I will need a bigger boat!
Excellent video. I did one video my first time Salt Water fishing for TUNA off the coast of NJ. Id love to go out with you guys sometime and collab a video!
Nice work capt,
Fantastic video and editing and way to catch fish
Hey nice video! Man you are a viking going out there with that smaller boat! I'm not that ambitious with my 17 ft Edgewater, I have to be quite picky on which days I go out. How about some videos on the bass migration, that would be great.
Awesome , the name of your boat should be STEEL BALLS. SeaCraft boats have a reputation thanks to fishermen like you.
Those rakes are cooler than crap. Finally got to use some rakes for some albacore tuna 30 miles off of the Columbia River (West Coast, Pacific Ocean). They were money and routinely where the trolling gear that got hit time and time again. Cool video. What long handle gaf do you use or recommend?
Nice work! I will see you out there in the summer. --- Sterling Bars are awesome!
Great job. I am going out early this Friday coming. My boat is in the Highlands at Gateway. Are we neighbors? I have a 34 foot boat if you ever want to come in the next month while the fish are there. Great video and very informational! Hope to see more of your videos and I did subscribe. Roger
My Onslow is in Gateway, I have it in my driveway currently, but yes most of the time that's where it is. I'm sure I'll see you over there at some point.
@@CFalicon You are great with your boat and know how to tuna fish for sure! I was really impressed. I have a new 34 foot Grady White Express and it runs well in storms. My buddy Russ was the owner of the charter boat the Fish Bandit and he goes out with me a lot We only hit one Blue Fin about a month and a half ago. Its been all Mahi, Jacks lately. I want to go to Tom Canyon. Have you been out there? Three years ago I caught a real nice Wahoo there. The water is warm there now. Todd from Gateway is such a great guy! Tell him you met me on youtube. Hope to see you soon. We are out Friday if you go out! Tight lines.
Great Video...Just getting into the Tuna game this year. Any recommendations on gear would be great.
Really depends on where you're fishing and what size fish you are targeting. For NJ/NY smaller school fish you can't go wrong with some Sterling Tackle wide tracker bars and Crazy 8 chains for trolling. 30 class reels work well. I fish all Talica 25IIs and International 30 wides for trolling.
@@CFalicon great channel. I run out of Barnegat Inlet
Same here, lot of changes since this video was made. Newer larger boat, nicer gear, etc. etc!
@@CFalicon Cool...This year I am running a 26' Prosports. Jumping into the Tuna Game is a big jump$
Grew up running the Raritan bay. My grandfather was the killie guy for tackle box, julians ...all rte 36. #tightlines
Very cool, have definitely fished with a few of those killies over the years.
Nice job. Enjoyed the trip.
My friend it takes brass balls to go that far in a twenty-three footer !
Great job! Yellowfin tuna Excellent.
Great video. But the LAT/LONG's @ 4:00 appear to be bogus. Whats up with that?
Awesome! sweet video!
28 inches,not trying to be a dick but that little yellow was close.Also always keep your boat heading straight and moving forward that way you don’t have to clear all your lines and because they are straight off the stern they won’t get wrapped up.Most spreader bars float so the only lines you may need to clear are your flat lines and your weighted rigs,like joe chutes
hey craig, what town do you live in? id love to buy you a beer
jason
They are usually at the 100 mile curve lobster traps
Great video. Just subscribed. We fish out of Barnegat on a 28ft Reg. Keep up the good work
Thanks! I'm down that way often. I'm sure we will cross paths offshore at some point.
Me too! Do you live in Manahawkin?
Just subscribed great video I’m looking for a 23 reg classic myself how do you think the boat would run with a new 350 Yamaha on it
The F300 is the best motor for the 23 if you're going to stick with a single. The 350s apparently aren't a great match.
Nice job guys
Great video
Thanks man
awesome video !!
One of the best video I ever watched
Great video but where's episode 2?
Rookie mistake. All lines in if a big fish is hooked?
James Ritchie
Very true but you have to hand it to him for manning up and including it in the video!
Hope you got Seatow/boatusa
Not bad young man...not bad at all.
nice fish👍👍
As far as trolling goes do you think I could get away with 25 sized tlds or are 50’s the minimum?
Depends on where you're fishing. For inshore midshore NJ TLD 25s will work, last few years the fish have been trending towards the larger 150 lb class and then you might be asking a lot of a TLD 25.
@@CFalicon ocean city, md the fish are usually around the 30-60 pound range. Thank you definitely saving money buying the 25’s
@@CFalicon god I’m going to sound really cheap here but do you think a 6000 size reel will be fine with those 30-60 pound yellowfin or do I need bigger? Thanks.
@@dylanmcgovern1253 It'll work, we've caught them on 6000 saragosas, it just takes a while! Ideally you want to be using a 10000 sized reel.
@@CFalicon gotcha thank you.
Fantastic stuff! I must ask, what software do you use for editing?
+Crank-n-Bang Outdoors Thanks! I use Final Cut Pro X
Do yourself a favor, dump the 250 and get twin 150's , your taking a big chance every time you head offshore, take some advice from someone that use to fish the canyons off of R.I. in a 1985 25 foot hydrosport cc with twin 150 everscreweds. You will one day get caught out there, it's inevitable. But I give you a lot of credit, regulators are good rugged boats for sure, pic your days and always have a backup plan. Oh, by the way, we use to get YFT up to 200lbs, what a shame that all you see now are fish in the 40 to 80lb class.
I run a 27 Onslow Bay with twin 350s these days :-)
23 foot 1 engine you're nuts I would never go on your boat
What's the GPS coordinates of the chicken cannon? I can't find it on my chart plotter and I'm running offshore on Wednesday.

what types of rods/reels are you using?
I'd have to go back and look but primarily for trolling I have custom calstar stand up rods with Shimano Talica 25s and Penn International 30vsws. For jigging a mix of black hole and saltywater tackle rods paired with shimano saragosa and twin power spinning reels and jigging master conventional reels. All my popping rods are from Saltywater Tackle.
Question whats the size of your fuel tank ?
The 23 had a 184 gallon tank. Most I ever burned was 100 gallons and that was a 240 mile trip.
What spinning combos do you use?
In this video I believe I was using a custom 350g jigging rod paired with an Okuma RAW II 80. For topwater fish I have a custom spinal popping rod and a Saltywater tackle El Maestro, both paired with Shimano Saragosas.

Sooner or later you're going to break down out there...very foolish in such a tiny boat
Not good!
