I gather it's a 20 hour run out, 20 hours of fishing, and a 20 hour ride home.

I would hope the Capt. doesn't pass up the fish. Those guys that went on the Cinco trip might have passed up the tuna by going to Red Hawk. I've heard that 80-100# YFT are being caught at the closer floaters for the brave that have ventured out to them in the past two weeks. A few have even been caught at Colt 45 day trolling.

Once again, good luck and I'll be praying for you. I hope you love the sound of a single screw diesel for 60 straight hours and the fact that the current might be faster than the boat. You might want to pack some ear protection. Give us a report upon your return.

It aint that bad
