Do we have a head count of SB'ers going on this trip?

I have a cooler with 120+qts of crushed ice. Should be enough for everyone to stock the coolers upon return to keep all the fillets/steaks cool for the ride home.:)

There are 7 of us

Just spoke to them and they said it is a definate go. Boat leaves at 7 AM. Be there at 6.

Capt. joe just called. They provide lead egg sinkers etc for bait fishing as well as hooks. jigs he said 4-8oz. Bait rods can be rented jigging rods bring your own. 100# mono for bait rods 80# is lowest suggested. He said he was calling Phil and Paul next. :)

They told Bill you could use braid if you had at least a 25ft mono topshot. I'm assuming this is on a jigging rod.

I'm pretty excited. Thanks to everyone for coming, biggest fish gets a nice plug, one of kilsongs GT poppers

Hope they don't measure! Divided what fluoro I had left and put on 2 setups, maybe 20' on each.

These calls are nice but overdue and better done 2-4 days before the trip to answer questions. Of course the go/no go can only be done night before. See everyone nice and early.

Who's bringing the donuts?

how far east were you guys? Any idea

What was the largest (longest and heaviest) fish boated?

The pre trip planning was a bit rough because they dont have a gear list on their web site like the big jamaica does. Aside from that the boat was super spotless (before we got it all bloody). galley was clean. capt was awesome kept us on fish. facilities were super clean for a for hire vessel.

we had 21 anglers on the boat, broke it up into trolling teams of 7 with team sb up first (team 1). Not 10 minutes into the troll Bill Jr. had a skipjack and I had a mahi that went 12# after being iced and bled. We all commented that we hoped this would set the tone for the rest of the trip.. IT DID :uhuh::kewl:

I didnt get a bunch of pictures because I had candi's camera and havign my hands covered in mahi blood after minute 3 trolling I didnt break out the camera as much as I would have liked.

FYI I started a second thread as a trip summary, maybe a mistake not to continue this one?

Pretty sure we went to Ocean.


I'll post some pics later today.

Will you guys email me a bunch of pics. I don't have any. pauldevitt68@comcast.net
