    Tuna season’s coming fast, and I’m starting to prep. This’ll be my third run and I want to be more dialed in this time. What do y’all do in advance to make sure the boat, gear, and crew are fully ready?

    Hey there! When it comes to tuna season, I treat prep like a full checklist—engine maintenance, gear checks, and even small stuff like fresh line and updated tackle. I get most of it done at Surfside Marina https://surfside-marina.com/ , a state-of-the-art dry stack and wet slip boat storage marina and service center in Surfside Beach, Texas. They not only service my twin Yamaha F300s, but also stock essential upgrades in their parts shop. Plus, being able to launch right from the marina, fueled and ready, cuts out a lot of hassle when chasing blue water. Helps you focus on the bite—not the breakdowns.
