I have never been on anything other than a 4 or 6 hour charter. What are the different experiences you gain moving to an 8, then 10, then 12 hour? (Let’s say for example launching out of Orange Beach).

Is simply more fishing time, or do you then gain access to a different quality of fishing/more species by being able to presumably access deeper water and less pressured waters? Do you stand better odds of bringing home more quality fish in the cooler (perhaps more accessible species that are in-season), or is it more that you gain access to non-food game fish like bill fish?

Thanks
