Would rather be fish

Would rather be fishing but when the weathers this bad the only thing to lift the spirits is a bit of boat stuff and today we installed some new U Dek designed and sent down from the lads at Tidal worx who recently also did our vinyl wrap.

Have to say gives a nice modern look to what was a dated looking floor.

4 weeks tomorrow is Tuna Time 🐟🙌 and myself and Neal can’t wait to get going and look forward to seeing you guys very soon 👌

Was great to help out some family’s going on holiday today as their flights were cancelled due to the fog from Lands End airport.

We had a fantastic trip across that only took 1 hour 30mins so decided to have a nice cold shandy in such a beautiful location 👌

🔥 8 weeks to go!

🔥 8 weeks to go! 🔥

The countdown is officially on… in just 8 weeks, the 2026 Bluefin Tuna season kicks off, and the excitement at Bluefin Charters is already building!

We’ve been busy gearing up for what’s shaping up to be an absolutely incredible season of explosive topwater action, screaming reels and unforgettable battles with some of the hardest-fighting fish in the calendar year.

This year we’re stepping things up once again with some seriously exciting new kit from Shimano and those that have booked on already are in for a real treat as you will be using gear that is as good as gets in big game fishing.

The new 2026 Shimano Stella 25000s – built for brutal topwater battles.
New Shimano Talica 50s compact power, reliability, and stopping strength when it matters most
New Shimano Talica rods – perfectly matched to the reels and ready for the fight.

We are all about stand up fighting and match the gear to the fish we are targeting so you get the full angling experience and not short changed.

2025 was awesome but 2026 is going to be something special as we are learning all the time and what we learned last season will be implemented from the off and we can’t wait.

massive thanks to Andy and his team at shimano for getting our new tackle together and we look forward to giving it all the ultimate field test 💪🐟

There’s still a handful of dates left over on the website and we are now taking booking for 2027

See you all soon Sam & Neal
