The Sea Devil, located in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, offers 23 hours of tuna fishing aboard a comfortable yacht with bunks available and experienced anglers ready to help, according to the Web site Party Boat New Jersey.com.
The Sea Devil excursions begin before leaving the dock when the captain reviews procedures with passengers and then call passengers one by one to pick out a bunk. It sets sail around 5 p.m. to Hudson Canyon near the mouth of the Hudson River. Since the trip takes a few hours, passengers rest on the way, sleep or eat. Fishing begins before midnight or early morning.
The Sea Devil crew checks the drag on all lines and explains tuna-fishing techniques to beginners or provides tips on handling the rod for the more experienced angler. The Sea Devil crew tags, bleeds, cleans and stores tuna in iced fish hold below deck.
