Looking forward to your report. I have fished the Thunder many times, it's only an hr. drive for me, but has been a couple yrs. I see where they supply live bait? Never did when we went before. Always went an hr. or so early & tried to catch some pins at the dock.

Have you been on the overnite trips before ? I talked to Cap,n mike and he said on overniters he supplys live bait ---he is going to fill the live well but when / if those run out or die off -- I am also taking the sabiki rod cause ya never know

Don't remember over-niter's being offered back then. Would have jumped on it. Last time I went, we were elbow to elbow on the boat. Was not fun. Catch a grunt & tangle 4-5 lines. Alot like drift fishing on the "cattle" boats on the East coast. We usually caught grunts & sea bass w/ a few grouper sprinkled in, mostly shorties. Nothing to get excited about.

ok here goes if you are a grammar punctation freak stop reading NOW

Well the weather/noaa predicted 2/3 footers
every 1 was pumped 19 people and 5 crew - on the way out was like glass = OMEN
got out to around 75 miles started gettin rough 2/3 footers
when we set the anchor at 97 miles out we were gettin 3/4 footers
within 15 mins we were gettin 6 footers ocassional 8 footers felt like the small vessel was gonna tip and the stuff/coolers/bait buckets /tackle boxes were all over the boat then here comes the chummin 2/3 guys were chummin then I think the Rackman caught a whiff of it and he let loose I was gettin abit weezy my self then the Rack lit up a cigar and it really had me holdin it back and then we moved -- then the smell of the deisel and the cigar and the Sea got to me and I let loose
It was all over for the OLDCRAB I found a bench and figured I would rest it out until it calmed down a bit - calm never happened - I rode that bench for about 3 hrs got wheezy again and headed for the rail tripping over 10 guys laying everywhere rechummed for a few and got my senses back looked around and there were only 2 guys and 1 captain 1 mate still standing every 1 else even 1 capt and 1 mate had gotten sick and was sleeping/trying to

by morning there were only a few fish on board and the sea never really calmed
we started the search more spots closer to shore and the sea was getting better and more fish were coming aboard the closer we got the more were coming over the rail

I never fully recovered and never fished anymore - The rackman caught a few shorts at least he caught some

overall the trip sucked and I didnt have a great trip = but did get to shoot the stuff with the rackman on the way out

I will never ever ever go on a overnighter again on a small vessel if it dont have a bunk with my name on it I aint goin

good luck

Why do people go out on these boats if they get seasick? I've been on trips where the sea is flat calm and people are puking. Use the patch or pills. You ruin it for the rest of us then bitch about it later. Don't make much sense to me.
