Capt Eddie,
Send me a pm with your contact info. A few of my fishin buds are talking about a trip to venice for some BIG tuna. We fish out of Ft.Pierce, Florida and the largest Yellowfins we will see around here will top out at 80-90lbs. We normaly make spring trips to the Bahamas, but thier new fishing regulations just killed that option. No way are we dropping $4k for a 4 day weekend with a 2 fish per person "posesion" limit (not even a 4 day fish agregate allowed on the boat).
We would rather keep the $ in the good ole' USA, and contribute to a local economy that could use the cash. Besides, I love creole cookin'.

Your method of chumming and baiting is new to us. We have no structure to work, so we just run and gun and pull lures around the schools. Would hate to waste the time setting up a chumline and bait spread and watch the school run by 1/2 mile away !!

BTW- What type of terminal rig do you use for drifting the baits, circle hooks and breakaway leads ?

Hoping for a reply,
Ray
