I'm going to meet with Governor Rick Perry and have him put into legistation the following.

All convicted sex offenders and murders have to spend 80 hours a month on the Dolphin as part of their time.

Nothing to do with the Dolphin, but please memorize the following quote:

"The American Indians found out what happens when you don't control illegal immigration."

You WON'T take Amy on that boat.

jt2hunt,

I'll mention some things about the Dolphin that can make it a less than pleasant trip depending on your preferences. And I'll also tell you that if we didn't have the Big E or the Pelican, well, I'd fish the Dolphin.

1. It is LOUD! You can't sit on the back deck and troll because you need earplugs. It has the loudest exhaust of any boat I've ever been on.

2. It is crowded, inside and out. There is very little space to store any gear, not to mention the number of rods and reels we usually take.

3. You can't take your own ice chests and food. You pay $1.00 for a bottle of water and there is no water cooler. You eat what they serve you, which may, or may not, be something you really want to eat.

4. They have a shower, but it is a small one, you straddle the toilet while you shower.

5. The fish box is relatively small.

6. The baitwell is small

7. You can only throw topwaters from the bow, and maybe one or two people at the stern.

8. 1/2 the bunks are in the galley! No privacy or quiet at times.

9. One last thing - they will RARELY cancel or postpone a trip! 9- 11 ft. seas, no problem!!

10. Wait, the very last thing.... it is a very slow boat. If you get somewhere and the fish aren't around, you can be stuck with no options of moving to another rig or floater.

A couple of good things, they have a great captain that will put you on the fish, you get a pretty darn good crew, thanks to the captain's supervision. And if you just have to catch fish, well, you get to catch fish!

I've got some great pictures of some great TAG trips on the Dolphin, if I find them I'll try to post them.

Like I said, different strokes for different folks.

I know I'm coming in late on this but you forgot to mention the "toilet". Last time I was in there I was standing in about 1" of some type of fluid, fun to step in after a long nap... Wash your hands? Forget it, bring hand wipes. Food was not really gourmet, or really even acceptable, and it's even frowned upon if you bring your own stuff. They'll sure sell you anything you want. A very dirty environment in general. Not that you go out there and expect 5 star facilities, but at least a 2 would be nice. BUT they do put you on fish and that's the most important part (although it would be nice if they learned how to gaff...).
