Anyone ever gone on the 10 pm - 10am trip Fisherman's Wharf puts on?

No one has gone on this trip?

I have been wanting to know the same question. Wish it left a few hours earlier, but I think I might try it out sometime. I know Deep Sea Headquarters used to run the 12hr night trips on Saturdays, but they stopped. Dolphin Docks runs night trips only during the summer season from 6 to 6.
Would much prefer to go with Deep Sea if they still offered them.

Yes, great time to go offshore. From the trips I've seen, they are actually more productive. Have caught everything from black fin tuna to amberjack and the standard reef fish.

Best thing, NO sun burn!

I called Fisherman's Wharf today and they said that they usually do not fill enough spots on the 12 hour night trips outside of summer.
Even for spring break the guy sounded doubtfull, but he said you never know. They need to fill at least 20 spots for it to go out.
Must be a great deal to go out for 100 dollars if you can get on with only 20 people. I remember going out in the summer years ago during the day, and the boat was very crowded. Kind of makes me want to go out more this time of year.

Fishermans wharf 12hr - is a good offshore offshore trip and
they use electric reels and have sometimes put drift baits off
the back while other fish on bottom with electric reels or manual(depends) It is a great boat to go on,You need to make
sure that there is enough folks to go. This time of the year
the 12hr does not make it out due to lack of fishermen.
If, you can make the Scat Cat or Wharf Cat it will be a
great ride and to have a good time offshore fishing.

Old topic, new post. I signed up today for one the 23rd. I've never been out with Fishermans wharf before and want to know if there is any big difference in between their boats and DSH. I know they are slower and smoother ride, but policy wise what can I expect? Also any tips for fishing techniques at night beside glow jigs?

went out on the 6am to 6pm one a couple months ago and killed the fish there was only about 25 people on the whole boat so it was awesome, make sure if you want to catch anyhting but snapper you get to the back of the boat first otherwise theres no chance at getting a king because the line is so long

I bring my own gear so I don't depend on the boat, plus its a night trip and kings aren't as active i've been told.

Post up how the trip goes.

You have me curious.

Scat Cat is a wide double hull, rides better than single
hull,a/c inside,consession person inside to sell drinks
and microwaveable food, snacks and drinks, beer too.
My son calls it a floating Valero station on the GOM.
On the 12 hour on saturday night, it depends on the captain-
and sea situation - but, most the time they will anchor on
a rock where vermillion snapper are, snapper season will be
closed, depending on the current you can catch kings at
night, Scat Cat trips for the money are hard to beat even
if fishing is slow, you will have a great offshore fix.
Crew and captains are Great... Captain Russell and Justin
are both great.....Hope you have a Great Trip!

Tuna Texas, Has something happened that I haven't heard about? I though snapper went until July 10th ( plus or minus a day or so).

Still does as far I can tell.

Dad and I went on a 12hr night trip once. I believe it was on the La Pesca, it has been a while. We thought it sounded cool to be heading out on the water as the sun went down. Not have the heat and sun baring down on you. Over rated! Personally I don't think the fishing is as good at night, between that and wasting the entire next day trying to catch up on your sleep that was our last night trip.

If it was a longer trip say to the Tuna grounds I think it would be a different story. For the 8-12hr trips I personally think day is the way to go. Might be worth doing once

You are Correct, My Bad, RED Snapper season is
now Cut off on July 10th, at this time, if you
fishing before this on the Scat Cat, you are on
a almost given Two Snapper,(per person) only thing
could mess that up would be a Real screaming current...
Looks like a good time ahead....

Go on a week day. I went once on the Scat Cat and it was the worst time ever... There was 90 people abaord if I recall right and one fish wrapped up half the boat. The crew was good and we caught a few fish, just make sure its not on a busy holiday or on a summer weekend. Also if you don't like the smell of smokes you will barely make it past the cash register as they chain smoke at the store.
