When I go on long range fishing trips we always bring our own "fresh" bait, extra reels or parts, and of course a wide array of tackle because you never know whats going to show up. Good luck!

Hell yea! Trucky thats on my assault plan. Got my bubbleheads and some Big trollers ready..
I have salted boston mackerel, Salted whole shrimp about 5 dozen. Am heading to johns pass friday morning with my live well and sabikis to get after some live pins. im not paying 9 bucks a dozen.... Boat leaves at 3pm friday till 6am sunday.
Im also getting some fresh squid from Gandy bait.. and live shrimp also.. My target is hogfish, mutton snapper and mangos.... Since not much else is allowed.. Bastards!
Probably get after an A.j or 2 for the smoker..
I cant wait!
Permit53 my spot is right next to the mates reserved spots! So when they fish.. I will know it!
Im going full bore on this trip Cant wait!!!!! 14 days!
Bucket list check off in the works.

I'm sure you're probably already aware, but they don't allow you to bring your own beer on the boat. I was reading a review of the trip and someone took issue with the fact that their stuff was searched and their beer had to be left behind.
I would love to try this trip and catch some fish that aren't common on the near shore head boat trips my wife and I take. Perhaps someday I'll make it to the middle grounds.

Yep TFL, i am well aware of that. 2 bucks a beer is still cheaper then the titty bar, and i would have more fun and still have stinky fingers I have been wanting to go to the middle grounds for years, Finally the old lady said would you stop bitching and just book the trip.......... So with that blessing i didnt let her change her mind, money was spent . So i'm way excited! 39 hrs on a head boat, 20 or more hrs of fishing time....... AWSOME Plus where my spot is theres about 15 ft to either side of me that is not reserved... Allthough i am concerned that there are only 25 people secured for the trip.. hope they dont last minute cancel... Would absolutely break my heart...2 days and a wake up..... |

Well, 5pm this evening i got a missed call. Listen to the voicemail and the trip was cancelled.
I was heart broken... But then they offerd me 20% off another trip.
So now im scheduled to do a 10 hr snapper special trip friday night, and a 39 hr deep water trip April 29th. Atleast i will have some fresh fish friday.. And hopefully some really interesting fish if the april one goes through.
The deepwater trip is a new deal... Will be fishing 200 to 400 ft, for giant gag grouper, tilefish,
.. Should be interesting..Scamp, Red, Yellow fin, yellow mouth, Misty, Warsaw, Snowy and
Amberjack with some giant porgies and Snapper
