Tuna trip to the central Texas Gulf coast for Winter? Neee advice

[whoknows]

Hello All, planning a tuna trip to the Gulf of Mexico in the Jan-Feb Months. This is a first for me and my buddies and will be a two boat trip.

What month is best? What water temp? Blackfin yes but is there Yellowfin available within 75 miles of shore? How to rig baits and run trolling rigs.

Any advice is appreciated.

What about Venice? There's always good tuna action and lot's of places to fish when the wind kicks up...which is usually the case in the winter months.
