I'm responding (but not going :tooth: ). I wish you all massive success and wish I was going (I can't fish atm because of back pain).

OK, I received the bad news yesterday, need rotator cuff repair,
Never have done this tuna trip before my question is this , should I still go on this trip ? , it's my left shoulder and tuff it out ...
Or fix it asap for the fall run (Vineyard Oct , RI )

Peter

Pete the one thing i can say is you may want to wait till winter for that surgery, 2 years ago i had my left arm ripped of, rotator cuff, labium, bicept, triceps and delt. I took a few pills and finished the season as it was a slow recovery for me and the physical therapy was painful. I may have had more damage i dont know, but the moral of the story is, if you want to enjoy the fall run and this trip dont get the surgery till after, you will thank yourself later.

med up for the rest of the season and get sliced in november. if you are worried about this trip you could always get a aftco shoulder style harness. it would take the pressure off your shoulder and transfer it to your torso

1. Fix it ASAP and absolutely ruin everything the surgery accomplished by doing too much too quickly ie. fall run.

Or.

2. Have it done over the winter with plenty of time to heal up/ pt it and as an added bonus you don't have to shovel snow.

*disclaimer* I'm not a doctor.

The doctor who does fish ,told me to keep all my plans and then go under the knife in the late fall .

I may just need to find a bitch to reel in my tuna and Misc fish I plan on catching ... I need a Chum Boy like back in the day :)

Peter, if I didn't get so seasick, I'd be glad to reel in your tuna for you.

have fun guys, I'm jealous
wish i could go

I will check tomorrow and if any spots are still open me and cj will be going!

Nice, keep us posted last time i checked there is still room!

glad you and cj are coming chuck. we'll put out a couple of huge baits way out and wait for the tigers to show up :)

I am bringing the Penn80 and fighting belt, bring the wired shark hooks appropriate for a 1000+ lb shark! This year I am definitely in the fighting rotation!


Last yr 90min and 3 guys on a Penn50, the shark won handily!

The bait is yellowfin guts!

might as well just cut a yellowfin in half. buzz -whats your 80 spooled up with? straight mono

I will gladly donate some of the yellow fin i catch for some time in the belt.

Are tigers tasty?

Should I try to get a 130?

how many people now?

130 mono (over 50-60%) then 100 powerpro

first you need to catch one virgin
i dont think so
buzz's 80 will be perfect - all stand up baby
think we have 10 confirmed. ive got a guy or 2 who may hop in last minute
perfect

@niko - ouch

I'll jump in on this :)

just me

You should invite some girls from the GAFF magazine to go with you on a photo shoot in the canyons...and make it a real party. This way when it not your turn on the rod, you can at least be watching a pole dancer with a cold one.

I'm pretty sure FID is in on some of this action I dont see his name on the roster.

TT he didn't post here and i am not sure who FID is.

First time booked with some friends from work on thur/fri for 9/20 and 21, work weekends so weekday it is for us. Can't wait to here how you guys do, sure I'll be asking you some questions when you get back. good luck.

Just checked with the HelenH: trip is SOLD OUT! 30 booked.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Because they knocked off over $125 over the weekend :(

what? for everyone or just the late bookers

Boston.com $294 special

My guess is to fill the boat

Helen H Deep Sea Fishing: $294 for an overnight tuna and swordfish fishing expedition off the coast of Hyannis (worth $420)

You buy the voucher for $294 then reserve? Not sure what happens if you reserve first then buy voucher....:fury:

The Skinny

Voucher is valid from 9/8/12 to 10/10/12
Limit one voucher per person and unlimited as gifts
Reservations required and subject to availability; please call to book and mention your Boston Deal powered by Zozi

Rods, bait, and tackle are included (comfortable beds, too)


I WILL BE CALLING IN THE MORNING FOR SURE!

Keep up posted, maybe there is a hurricane special, if they are not going to honor the price i assume back out

interested in the boston.com voucher for sure. I tried to call the helen h earlier today but they were gone for the day. I'm curious to see how buzz makes out in the morning :) Hopefully its good news :uhuh:
