Sandy 44 Posted September 5, 2014 I'm looking to book a Tuna/Shark trolling trip in October. Just checking to see if there is any interest here , make it a pro 2A trip As you know , the more on the boat , the more affordable. It runs 1800 , and I believe you can have 6 or 8 on the boat. Awaiting confirmation on max attendance.It is a long trip , if you have never done a fishing trip this would not be one to cut your teeth on . If you "don't know" if you get seasick , again , this would not be one to find out on. It is a 30 to 40 mile troll .Anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remixer 1,645 Posted September 5, 2014 Is this a Men only Trip or will Petes boss be coming? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 889 Posted September 5, 2014 I'd be interested, never did a Tuna trip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted September 5, 2014 I am interested as well as my wife. let me know when you get an exact date and price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 44 Posted September 5, 2014 Is this a Men only Trip or will Petes boss be coming? Yes , I am such an awesome wife that I come on forums and make fun trips for my husband. NOOOOOOOOT lol . Pete and I will be going , Fishnut , would be great to have another woman on the trip. So it is starting 1350.00 for up to 6 passengers. Which is pretty reasonable. I imagine the longer the tip the more $$. I'm cool with a half day trip though . So should we start talking dates? We have room for 4 I guess since Pete and I make 2.

So women will have to see me vomit for 10 hours... I might pass LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted September 5, 2014 Most any weekend in October is good for me and the wife. the half day trip sounds good but if we can get enough people together to make a longer trip cheaper that would be great too. Is this on the Purple jet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 44 Posted September 5, 2014 So women will have to see me vomit for 10 hours... I might pass LOL Yeah , you don't want to be "that" guy that makes the whole boat come back in lol The Captain is pretty cryptic in his email. I am full sure the lower price is inshore mudhole tuna/troll for some shark. I believe the 1800 price is the 10 hour troll which I would rather do. Trolling is easier on the stomach . Seas have been rough this year , anchoring over a wreck in these recent seas can make the best of them chum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy 44 Posted September 5, 2014 I just emailed asking for him to be more specific . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted September 5, 2014 Yup trolling is the way to go in my opinion for tuna and shark. you present the bait to allot more fish and hopefully it will prevent some blue shark bites. once the blue dogs come into your chum slick you might as well pull anchor and move because they will eat all your baits and waste your time.

fishnut 2,358 Posted September 5, 2014 I am going on a fishing trip next week and am already thinking about this one. What's wrong with me? I guess that's why I chose my screen name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 44 Posted September 5, 2014 From the Captain:That is the inshore tuna trip. $1350 approx 10 hours 6 pass max. If over 6 we are looking at a different boat. An inspected vessel, extra $100 per person over 6 up to a max of 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeyboyeee 66 Posted September 6, 2014 Don't waste your time inshore. You need to do a 24hr trip to the canyons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 44 Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah , when my kids can go that long without me But in general I agree. Chicken Canyon use to be my go to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MedicYeti 96 Posted September 6, 2014 I got seasick reading this thread, I guess I'm out. I have a few friends that do tuna trips, they leave before sunrise and get back after sunset. It sounds like fun, I'm just not nautical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
