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.

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.

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?

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.

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

thanks to everyone for coming. you all worked your asses off and it paid off bigtime - it was truely an amazing trip with a great group of guys. we will make this an annual trip - maybe next year we will book the boat for ourselves. i'm pretty banged up. the biggest of the tuna on sat thumped my hand pretty good w/ it's tail and it's pretty swollen still and i've lost some mobility in my thumb. my wife, a nurse, thinks it may be broken. a few great trip memories - victors neverending ear to ear grin, me ruthlessly busting kieths nuts that he could not land the unknown beastie and as soon as i had the rod turning to him and saying "i take it all back", everyone cheering on tyler (captains 12 yo son) while he fought his first tuna, the terminator brothers john and frank- the 2 hardest working guys i've seen on a boat aside from matt the mate, and many more. helen H is a top notch operation, hats off to them, would go w/ them again in a heartbeat. what's next - maybe a trip to the carolinas for a big red drum from the surf or winter sailfish from miami?

my 1st wife didn't like me fishing so much
