PACIFIC COAST SPORTFISHING MAG - MID SIZED CENTER CONSOLES

With more and more center consoles showing up on the west coast, you must wonder what it's like fishing 50, 60 or even 80 miles offshore in such a vessel. As boat manufactures continue to evolve their product lines, smaller boats are becoming more and more capable of making trips to the offshore fishing grounds easier than ever. The days of running 10-15 knots all the way to the outer banks are quickly passing as more capable machines are hitting the water. What was once a 5-hour one-way trip can easily be done in half the time on a modern center console so more day trips chasing trophy bluefin are becoming the norm.
