Sounds like a great time and a good deal, have a blast!

Post by: magnanimous_j on July 08, 2011, 03:31:43 PM: My pops and I have gone out a couple times with this outfit (can't remember which boat though). Cannot recommend them enough. Friendly and knowledgeable crew, big comfortable boats and we've hit the limit both times.

One day I'll do their 2 day Tuna run.

Post by: Skillet on July 11, 2011, 10:51:55 AM: I've been out with these guys before, and like everybody said - they do work to get you your fish. Just wondering if there were any other HW forumites that were going to be on the boat. It's my second favorite boat to go out on - the Tally Ho was my favorite when Capt. Kevin Marks was running that boat. I'll post pics if we catch anything noteworthy.

I think this trip is $135/person - which is an absolute deal if you figure all we have to do is show up on the docks with a lunch and go home with fillets. I was thinking about taking a couple of my rods, but I'd have to re-spool it with mono as they do not like the braided lines on the charter boats... anybody know why that is?

Post by: h20hunter on July 11, 2011, 10:57:32 AM: Tangles with braided and mono or braided with braided are almost impossible to get out. They have to slash and burn. All mono keeps everyone fishing longer.

I figured it was something like that. I've spent a few hours of life I'll never get back trying to untangle those messes.
