Call Directions Website Contact the business

Join us aboard the Gambler for open boat fishing all year long! The Gambler was custom built in 2005 by Maine craftsmen.
(444)

She is extra heavy construction, built for high speeds and high seas. The Gambler is powered by 4 Detroit/MTU engines. With a total of 3000 horses powering 4 props, she is capable of speeds of up to 30 knots! Our vessel also features the newest, most advanced electronics with over $50,000 worth of fish finding equipment. Night fishing is illuminated on the Gambler with high intensity flood and deck lighting - and she's the only boat to feature under water lights built into the hull! You can find hot and cold food and beverages at the galley in our heated/air conditioned lounge. The Gambler is the widest boat in her class, providing extra stability and deck room for your comfort. She also boasts huge built-in fish holds for our offshore big game trips. Our business has been family owned and operated since 1949. The Gambler's friendly, experienced Captains and crew are happy to assist both beginners and experts. We welcome and encourage families and children to join us on our fishing excursions for the adventure of a life time! Our customers saftey, satisfaction, boat cleanliness - and of course, catching fish - are our main priorities!

BACK AT IT OFFSHORE🌊🐟

This trip started off pretty quiet. Not much to report during the day or throughout the night, but we did have some action after dark with baby bluefin, squid, and a few sharks making an appearance!

Once the sun came up, things finally started happening! We had a sporadic bite of smaller yellowfin, but we’ll take it! 4 YELLOWFIN BOATED! 🙌🐟

Some anglers also decided to drop down to the bottom and were rewarded with some nice tilefish. Always great to see a few more of those coming over the rail!

Are we seeing the tuna action we’ve been hoping for? Not quite yet, but every trip brings new opportunities, and we’re going to keep at it! 💪

🚨 UPCOMING SCHEDULE! 🚨

🐟 NEXT TUNA TRIP: We’re heading back offshore Sunday night at 9 PM for a 24-hour trip!

🎣 STRIPED BASS SEASON: Starting Tuesday, November 3, we’ll be running striped bass trips EVERY DAY EXCEPT MONDAY!

⏰ 7:30 AM – 2:30 PM

We’re switching gears and getting ready for striper season! Who’s coming fishing with us?! 👀

🎣 ANOTHER TUNA TRIP IN THE BOOKS! 🐟🌊

We headed back to the same area as our previous trip, where we’ve been seeing some tuna signs, and things got interesting pretty quickly! 👀

🔥 Two yellowfin hooked up right away… ON THE JIG! That’s always a great sign! We also had plenty of baby bluefin (released, of course), Bonita, and false albacore keeping the rods bending and the crew busy throughout the day.

🌙 The nighttime action kept things interesting, too! We had a baby swordfish, some mahi, and some JUMBO squid making an appearance. We even had some anglers dropping down and coming up with some nice catches! 🎣

That’s the beauty of our canyon trips — there’s more than one way to bend a rod, and we encourage anglers to take advantage of the different fishing opportunities out there!

The morning brought another shot of small bluefin and Bonita, but unfortunately, we couldn’t find any more yellowfin before heading home.

So, was it a knock-it-out-of-the-park trip like some of the seasons we’ve had in the past? No. BUT… there are positives here! 💪 Two yellowfin on the jig right off the bat, plenty of life in the water, and action throughout the trip. We have to take those signs for what they are and keep looking ahead. We believe we’re trending in the right direction, and we’re excited to see what comes next! 🤞🐟

🚨 WE’RE HEADING BACK OUT TOMORROW! 🚨

The Gambler will be back offshore, returning around 5 PM Friday. Let’s see what the next trip brings! 🔥🎣

10/26/2026

A few shots from yesterday’s trip offshore!

After TWO weeks at the dock, it felt so good to finally get back out there! 🙌 The crew sent over a few pictures from the day, so we had to share!

We would’ve loved to see more tuna, but we’ll take the signs of life and see what the rest of the week brings! 🤞🐟

Now let’s keep our fingers crossed for some good weather and MORE fish! 🔥

10/26/2026

🌊🎣 AHHH, FINALLY… SALTY FRESH AIR! 🎣🌊

After TWO WEEKS stuck at the dock, the Gambler finally got back offshore! 🙌 We left the dock at 11 yesterday, and let me tell you, we were MORE than ready to get back out there! 😂

I had to film before the guys got back in, so I don’t have all the ins and outs of the trip just yet, but here’s what I heard… 👀🐟

🐟 2 longfin tuna
🐬 A handful of mahi
🎣 Some tilefish

Would we have liked to see more? Absolutely! But hey, it’s a sign of tuna, and we’ll take it! 🤞🐟 Now let’s see what the rest of the week brings!

🚨 SCHEDULE UPDATE! 🚨

As we move into the next part of the season, we’ll be running ONE 24-HOUR TUNA TRIP PER WEEK, departing Sunday night and returning Monday.

The rest of the week, we’re switching gears and heading out for STRIPED BASS! 🐟🔥 Striped bass trips will run from 7:30 AM–2:30 PM.

Offshore or inshore, we’re ready to keep fishing! 🎣❤️ Stay tuned for updates, and let’s hope Mother Nature keeps cooperating. 🤞🏼

10/24/2026

🚨🎣 GUYS… WE’RE FINALLY GOING OFFSHORE!!! 🎣🔥

WE GOT THE OFFICIAL WORD! We’re headed offshore TOMORROW! 🙌🐟

After TWO WEEKS stuck at the dock, you have no idea how good it feels to finally say that! 😂🌊 We’re fueled up, fired up, and READY to get back out there!
