These charters from Rippin' Lips Charters Tuna, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, United States, cost a few more dollars then a striper or bluefish charter due to the amount of gas we have to use and the cost of the gear being used. We limit these charters to 3 people. I also feel that everyone needs to know that this isn't a fishery that you will catch a lot of fish and if you boat 1 or 2 fish in a charter that is considered a good day. The fish aren't always in the area and I only run these trips when the odds are stacked in our favor.
