HelenH Canyon Trip 2012

[Capt Charlie]

Matt,

I go on these trips at least once a year (usually three trips a year between the Helen H and the Frances Fleet).

I'm not sure if the Newell would stand up to a decent sized yellowfin. There are also a few swordfish caught on these trips...

If I'm on the trip you're more than welcome to use some of my gear (I tend to bring everything I own, WAY more than I need).

Generally I think someone going on this trip should bring:

1 30 lb outfit for chunking
1 15-20 lb spinning outfit for casting to mahi and catching bait
1 jigging outfit

I'm sure there are many other options but that's where I started.

Hope to see you there.

Charlie
