Is the fishing still available to a 25' W/A with twins in November? How far out do the fish hang out (Tuna and or Wahoo?)

Also is the fishing at Chincoteauge over in November? Thanks.

I don't know about the other places but I fish out of Hatteras in November and it can be great. The king mackeral fishing is a ball. Also, there's plenty of other critters in the stream. I fish a 25 footer also and if you watch the weather you should be fine. Check the fishing reports out of Hatteras Harbor.

HI: Gulf steam will have YFT and a few Wahoo still around. Inshore the Smoker Kings are in!!. Perhaps Bluefin later, but I wouldn't count on it.
Catching these big kings is a blast on light tackle, and you won't catch many of the big ones using conventional tuna stuff. Live bait is best but dead baiting will catch several as well. 30+ lb fish on 15 lb tackle with 3 lbs of drag is a blast. The big ones are starting to show now and will peak about Thanksgiving ( maybe a week before).
Pleanty of nice weather days--- just seems they always fall during the week.

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to read up on fall kingfishing.[smile]

Out of Chinco you're looking at cbass. You might stumble upon some bft heading south but I wouldn't count it. A look at the water temps will answer you question quickly. Oh, the stripers will there soon if not already, big fat pigs.
