1st annual SFC tuna armada trip

quack quack · 02-18-2008, 11:30 AM

Sounds like a good name to me.I know some of us are looking at making a tuna trip this spring over to West End.I think the spot will be Blue Marlin Cove.
Not sure on dates and boats going but that is what this thread will be for.

I am in for this.Not sure on which boat but I think I can get a ride

If you want to go either with a boat or not let us know..

If we do this with 4 or 5 boats then future planning could be left till a later date.But if more than 6 boats want to go I think we might need to book rooms and such a little more ahead of time.I am thinking about a little tourney action as well when we are there.A sponsor or 5 might be doable as well.Not a long trip just 2 to 4 days.

So if you want to go let us know.This sounds like a lot of fun for sure.

Depending on the date, we're in.

WhItEoUt 23 · 02-18-2008, 11:44 AM

Count me in sounds like a blast!!!!!!

bajakian · 02-18-2008, 07:05 PM

I am ALL IN baby!!

krisis7 · 02-18-2008, 07:30 PM

Would you mind a 20 ft CC in the mix if the weather is right....

Relentless33 · 02-18-2008, 10:06 PM

I'll try to talk my Dad into it but I am in if I can find a ride with someone..

I'm willing to chip in all of my money

I've never been fortunate enough to find the yellows yet...

Ivan11 · 02-18-2008, 11:26 PM

i would be in for sure if i can tag along with someone for sure. just need a date so i can put in for time off.

wahooman · 02-19-2008, 06:35 AM

YFT is the next thing on my list, count me in if the dates work.

DIRTYFOOT2 · 02-19-2008, 06:54 AM

Richard, if you'd like a competent boat scrubber I know a guy who'd love to go.

bajakian · 02-19-2008, 07:00 AM

Butch consider yourself in. I'm not sure when everybody is going but Ive got time off next week and then again third week of March and mid to late April.
Lets plan it. IF they are not there, we will punish the snappers.

quack quack · 02-19-2008, 08:17 AM

I am thinking mid to late April sounds good.Maybe sooner if they come in early.

I know I need to get it but do you need a passport to go over now?

DonK · 02-19-2008, 08:27 AM

Hey QQ..I thought that PP's were absolute now?

I would love to go tuna hunting, but I am expecting a new little one mid-late april...the Mrs. would probably not like it too much if took off fishing and missed the delivery date! (I told her she text me with some pics, but she wasn't going for that!)

You now need a passport to enter the Bahamas by either land or sea.

quack quack · 02-19-2008, 08:40 AM

Well I guess I better get it done!!

ameristrat · 02-19-2008, 11:48 AM

I'd love to but I don't think I'll have a boat. Just keep us updated on the dates and I can offer my amazing boat cleaning / fishing expertise... and some money

quack quack · 02-19-2008, 11:59 AM

I am sure there will be some spots open.But I am not going to keep the lists so to speak.If you can work it out on your own with a boat that is going.It is a good way to meet friends as well.Of course I will help out if I can.

Certifiable · 02-19-2008, 01:35 PM

Keep me posted on the date...a 3 day bender will do just fine.
Late April is very productive in them there waters...if you can make the crossing.

When you get a date set, and the weather forecast is confirmed, I will offer up any open spots on my scow.

quack quack · 02-19-2008, 02:59 PM

I want to put in my weather confirm now 5 to 10 out of the SE for 5 days around the mid to end of April.
