Couple of things to think about for the group going.
Lodging- With the groups permission, we can see about getting a better group rate if possible for those needing to stay the night in Freeport on Thursday. Believe there are a few motels close by to Captain Elliott's. Please post up if you need a room, how many and smoking or not. If someone needs to share a room, we can get them matched up on this post.
Pre-trip meal- Suggest those that are spending the night Thursday meet up at a local diner to met and get to know each other. Say 7 pm? Just need suggestions on where to meet.
Piggy Patrol- Got a few volunteers to catch piggies, the more caught, the better for not relying on bait stops on the way out. Figure that folks can catch them before the meal and the morning of the trip.
Shirts- RueHoo is making the design, and will hopefully have it ready for approval by this weekend. Right now the only sponsors are www.360tuna.com, www.2coolfishing.net, and www.ringedhook.com. We can use more sponsors!
The best price we have received so far with 47 shirts currently to be ordered is $14 per short sleeve, and $17 for long sleeves. That is for Smalls to X-Large. The XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL will be a bit more.
If we get above 50 shirts most places come down a bit in price, so if someone wants a shirt and has not ordered let us know.
Final cost- We should be able to send out a final cost to everyone by August 14th. That will give folks until August 24th to get payment to us for to meet the cancellation deadline. We expect the trip to go, but we got to cover everyone's interest and cost's for the trip.
Loaner tackle- Not sure if it is cool to suggest, but personally we can loan a TLD 20I, a TLD20II and a topwater casting rig with a Penn 525 to those needing it. If anyone is wanting to loan a rig to those going, please post up. To those that do borrow, "the you break it or lose it, you pay for it" rule applies here.
Again just a suggestion on that.
Pooling fish- If everyone is OK with pooling the balckfina and other species that are not "top desired" fish, Yellowfin, AJ's, snapper, wahoo, etc, we suggest that the group pool the fish and divide the catch to those that either have fewer fish or want to take a few more home. Would think blackfin would be the main pool fish to consider for this. I personally will take any Blackfin folks don't want.
If anyone has any other suggestions, idea's, or thoughts, let's hear them.
