I was planning on it but I blew a disk in my lower back. Since I had to have it surgically repaired. No off-shore for me till middle of February. Especially with the pressures a 100# tuna will put on you. _________________ "I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I mean." |

Better part of 700.00...actually on a per days basis more expensive than the San Diego long range trips on really comfortable boats, staterooms and great food...With that said, I wanted to try one of these trips, and the weather window seemed to be in a rare "open" position. Hopefully a successful report to follow. |

Thanks for the info. That's a lot of Jack, but if you had a good trip and caught lots of tuna and such, it would be well worth it! At what they sell for it wouldn't take long to get to $700, and the experience is a bonus!  _________________ Dave

You hit the nail on the head pal!!!! I've never been able to justify a charter trip for just myself or one more even though I would LOVE to go with Capt. Mike or a number of other guides in other areas sometime just to learn a ton and enjoy the day. That doesn't mean that guides are too expensive, not in the least. It's just a big chunk of change for us poor folks!!!
Considering the high possibility of what's in the ice chest at the end of an inshore trip relative to a tuna trip......... I could probably keep all I wanted for my freezer and sell the rest up here in Little Rock and pay for my trip on the latter!!!!  _________________ Dave

| So spent some time today putting reels on rods, and replacing topshots. One thing about "big trips" is the anticipation is almost the price of admission. Stopping by Roys tommorow for some last minute shopping and/or advice. Offshore weather forecast looks real good! Come on tuna! |

It's colder than a well digger's a$$ up here, has been for weeks now and probably will be for another two months at least!
Darn sure looking forward to the report and pics!  _________________ Dave

56 hours is what it is listed as. Though actual duration is limited by fish box capacity. Trips are cut short when the box is full.... |
