going to be heading on the double eagle out of clearwater for grouper season. Anyone that wants to join the more the merrier. We have 7 people so far and we will have about 100 pinners for bait. The boat supplies squid and frozen greenies so we just bring our own bait. I live in riverview by the brandon mall if anyone wants to carpool. I can seat 2 more peeps in my truck

Hey gsellers1245, we'll be at the south pier friday night filling live wells, look for a white dodge ram, skyway pier rat sticker in rear window, new dent in the drivers side rear bumper, lol. I'll broadcast this next time around gseller, we do this trip 5-6 times a year and Jessie is one of the best on the left coast hands down. To quote him "We haul ass to the fishing grounds and come back with sore backs" is an understatement, boat cruises at 47mph and you only get one warning as we leave Blind pass "Ya'll ready" Lol
Yep Queen fleet was a roller coaster last time we all went out, 1/2 of us was praying to the porcelain god including Codi and Big Mike. 8' seas have that affect.
Freezer is a sore subject, someone left the friggin door open, don't know who and he won't say but he sure has been vacant from here since...............................Hmmmmm!!
Eddie, I have the makings for cheveche so the first fish over the rail takes a swim in lime juice, we can do crackers or tortillas, I'm good either way.
goindeep...eaglesfan...........ya'll have PM's..............gimmie a call when ya read

ok went out on the queen fleet.
1. Got there first thing at around 3:30 am to catch bait and 5 turds jumped in line and started stealing our spots on the back of the baot. Moved our rods since we werent there.
2. The boat was jam packed to the brim sold out
3. The captain put us on some holes......holes of crap. If theres no bite with live or frozen then theres no bite, no reason to hang around for an hour.
4. Spent most of the time untangling my line from the tards not knowing what they were doing
5. The best thing about my trip was my $2.50 can of bud light
I WILL NEVER GO ON THIS BOAT AGAIN!!! EVEN IF I WON A FREE CHARTER I WOULDNT GO. tHE MOST HORRIBLE TRIP I HAVE EVER HAD!!!

gsellers:
It really does suck having a horrible trip like that specially spening good money. You should check out Dolphin Deep Sea Charters (AKA The Two Georges) out of Tarpon Springs. Great boat great people and Great prices...$60/8hrs..hope this helps Happy Easter

It's almost gonna be bad to post what we caught after reading this. gseller next time we set up a trip you'll be the first I get ahold of, those "Grunt" boats are for the tourist and sad to say the back of the boat is usually held for "regulars". crap I've seen the mates move gear to clear a spot of their "Friends"
Rich forgot the camera so I'll be a bit on getting the pics up. Grand total was 10 gags, many tossed back either short or smaller than what was coming over the rail. 1 Red Grouper with many, many shorts. A frigging huge Flounder caught by Skyjay 60 miles out, when we saw color we was thinking Amberjack then this huge flattie came over the rail. We saw one of the biggest Leatherbacks I have ever seen, friggin huge then a smaller one came by for a short visit. All in all it was yet another day full of great memories, great friends and great fishing.

You gotta hit those boats at the right time.Do ya home work and show up at the docks to see what they are bringin in.Ain't like goin out on a boat such as James Gang.......he can get to the fish no matter where they may be.Party boats are restricted to what they are able to do.They can produce but like i said......gotta wait for the BOAT to be doin good,not just the fishin.

Gsellars. Now theres no better fishing experience then James gang charters.. But i have fished the queen fleet 5 times. and have had bad and great experiences.
That is a grunt wagon, but grunts are fantastic eating.
But everyone wants the glamour of a big grouper. Last trip i went with them Allison my wife got her first keeper Gag grouper and i got a red grouper. We had 2 tons of grunts and a kingfish. Had a blast. So dont one and done a boat. My first trip was an 8 to 10 ft seas roller coaster, with my biggest fish being caught at the dock.lol a 22inch black drum.
They try to make everyone happy, but you cant do that. My advice is to ask around, and if you do reschedule, get friendly with the mates. They fish everyday they can help you alot. And try to get on the boat when Capt. Todd is working. He will hook you up!
