Have fished with dolphin docks on several occasions, when I lived in San antonio, 4 years ago. Fished tuna out of san diego. Let me know, I will split the fuel, buy the ice whatever. Just love to fish

wow!...... this is an old thread
i just sent you a PM with info for this year...........
specifically this:
i hesitate to invite anyone from a long distance away to make any plans for a trip all the way down to South Padre Island when the seas are gonna be the deciding factor whether-r-not i'm going offshore on any particular day
and by the same token, if anyone already knows they're gonna be spending some time on the island or in the PI/SPI this summer anyway, speak up!..... i'd like to give you the contact info for me down there to take with you when you go
FWIW, seas need to 3'-5' or less 20 to 60 miles out and i monitor bouy # 42020
GMZ170....
U.S. Coastal Waters Forecasts by Zone - Gulf - Brownsville, TX
42020......
NDBC - Station 42020
i can go any day-o'the-week or weekends the seas will allow May thru September this year and can take 1 to 4 guests at a time....... possibly 5 but that might be too crowded unless it's calm enough for me to run the boat from the tower and/or maybe remove the fighting chair... (chair takes up alotta room but it's great fer fightin' the bigguns!)
trolling for big-game is my preference
what you'll need to count on bringing for a day offshore on my boat:
1st, count on 12 hours +/-
bring drinks, lunch, snacks, sun block. etc for personal use
120/lbs of ice if you wanna keep fish
count on volunteering to split fuel cost of $800 (+/-) equally among all on board if it's $4/gal at the dock........... basically count on burning 200 gallons (+/-)
drinking/smoking okay
no drunks/excessive drinking
your welcome to bring bait if you wanna rig'em yourself and are willing to constantly check'em to make sure they're free o'weed and not half bit off
i have all rigs needed for big-game (50Ws to 80Ws rigged w/60 to 80# test) and a few spinners and lighter rigs for whatever..... got a few favorite lures?...... bring'em
volunteering to pick up my share the o'fuel costs always welcomed, but not necessary or encouraged
