Ocean Active are proud to announce that we will be running 2 trips to Hatteras North Carolina in February 2013 with Saltywater Tackle. The dates will be 11-15 February 2013 and 18-22 Febuary 2013.

The charters will be run on the famous Tuna Duck with Capt Dan and there will be 5 anglers per trip. The trip will include boat charter, accommodation and transportation from the airport to Hatteras return. This is the best possible opportinuty to catch a giant Bluefin Tuna up to 400lbs and bigger on popping and jigging gear. Need to be prepared to get your ass whipped!!

For more information please contact me at [email protected].


Bending! The deep burn!

Double trouble!

Monster from the deep, an estimated 320lbs

This is a short clip from our trip in Feb 12. Truly amazing fishing and quite honestly bloody scary tackling these monsters on popping gear, but what is life without challenges!



Cheers,
Nick

Hi Ian, All the big fish were tagged and released. Fish under 72" can be kept but not many under 72"! Sometimes almost wish there were a few smaller fish! Arms get very sore, proper deep burn.

Cheers,
Nick
