Thanks for the quick answers Rick. Got a few more for you (or anyone else).

1) What's the best way to store your rods on the Big E? I've heard people sometimes use milk crates but was wondering if there were any other options. I've been on the boat before for the 12 hr trips and remember there didn't seem like enough rod holders for 40 people x 3 rods each.

2) Does the boat move around as much as they do on the 12 hr trips? I remember that annoyed a lot of people when we would stay on a spot for 15-20 minutes and then pull up anchor and take another 30 minutes to drop anchor again.

3) When you say "floaters" are you referring to seaweed patches or oil rigs? Are the oil rigs the best bet for YFT?

Thanks
