First trip out - Venice, LA

PurEvl · 11-29-2007, 09:55 PM

Hey guys,

Me and 3 buddies are going on our first tuna trip and want to get a heads up of what to expect/bring. I've been told I should bring a popper and jigger but then again the variety of them limits to what I want to buy. We have no idea of color/weight. I thought about just forgetting about it and just follow the captains suggestions! If any of you guys can chime in to help make this a trip we won't forget, please do!

We are going with CaptEddie and all his trips looks awesome! Just wondering if they are going by captains suggestions or if they are doing their own thing to catch those monsters.

i am going with you guys on the other boat. i am very exited. i believe that most of those big cows are caught chunking. eddie will have everything we need for that. i am bringing a popping rod and a jigging rod just in case!

If your going in January you will be fishing an area called the lump. He will be chunking at that time of the year, which is a great time to fish there becuase all teh big boys are around. I would bring 1 jigging and popping set up just incase other than that i would assume you will be using bent but 50ws

PurEvl, you are about to cross the threshold into another realm of
sportfishing; Bigger fish, greater acheivements, MORE$$!
I sold my race car to fund this hobby, & I'm still spending....

Oh ya, bad! I'm no MrBill, & I don't really have duplicates of anything but lures, but I do have 1 of almost everything, including a new boat.
I'd say I'm @ about full, but I still want a couple rods:
Zenaq FC-83-5
Calstar GFG-700h ( for that damn Accurate 665 I just HAD to have..)
And some new electronics:
Lowrance LCX-37 chd- $1300 for that!
And a trip to Tanzania, Kenn reef, Seychelles, Fiji, Oman, Cowtown,
3 kings, etc, ad nauseum. it never stops, man.
it's a quest for angler nirvana, that's the best I can come up with.....

here is what you need to buy, an Avet EXW 4/02 for chunking mounted on a nice 80lb Calstar or Seeker rod

and to match up with a lighter setup, I would suggest an Avet HX either wide or narrow on an OTI rod of choice
