Spring Tuna

yellowfin tuna

The spring of the year is a great time to plan a trip targeting tunas as there are has been very little fishing pressure during the winter. The anglers who venture forth on a two-day trip are seeing great catches of black fin and Yellow fin tunas along our Gulf waters.

After catching your tuna, enjoy what you can fresh. Tuna may be preserved very easily by pressure canning in glass Ball jars. If you like your grilled tuna with a touch of Dale’s Steak Sauce this may be added to the canned tuna as it gives a great taste to the fish. If you do not want to can it, you can cook it on the grill and vacuum bag it and use it to make tuna salad or tuna dip. This allows you to continue to enjoy your tuna fish for a long time after your trip.

It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Captain Randy, a true friend and cherished part of our community.

Randy Wayne Boggs, 61, of Baldwin County, AL, passed away on January 2, 2026. He was born August 28, 1964, in Pell City, AL, to the late Clayton Franklin and Georgia Edna Kent Boggs.

Randy was a man of many talents – a journeyman tool and die machinist, a registered nurse and a USCG licensed 100-ton captain. Randy never met a stranger and was always ready to help anyone in need; especially a boat captain that needed that certain part that Randy just happened to have. Of the many captains and deckhands that worked with or for Randy, he has been described as a best friend, a mentor, and a father-like figure. If you worked with Randy, you were not just another employee, you became a part of his family. Randy enjoyed sharing his love of the outdoors with others and always strived to create more outdoorsmen (women) in today’s world. Randy enjoyed sharing his knowledge and stories, especially about his trips to Africa.

Randy is survived by his wife, Susan, and their daughter, Elizabeth; his seven beloved Blue Lacy dogs; his siblings Jimmy Boggs, Joyce Runyans, Billy Boggs and Jane (Dennis) Simmons, and other extended family and friends.

On Friday, January 9, 2026, visitation will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at his residence. The burial is scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. on his farm located in Lowndes County, Alabama.

Mack Funeral Home in Robertsdale, AL is handling arrangements. Please donate to a charity of your choice instead of sending flowers.
