My son and I are chasing Bluefin and big eye tunas on Sunday out of Ocea City, MD. Hopefully I will have a great report

Well I gues the term 'be careful what you wish for' could be stuck to me right here.

a couples months back when I had no job and no way of financing this trip, i was so ready to jump on a trip like this.

now Im just not sure.....so to straighten things out a little for me.

pleas be honest, because i think i kno the answer to this. does a 16yr old kid with a spinning setup, a jigging setup, and a tld 25 nd a sld 20 even belong on a trip like this laiden with old timers and $2000 setups?

Thanks alot, its pretty much either a trip like this or a Laser.

Success in life is recognizing opportunities and taking advantage of them. or

No guts no Glory!

Go for it and show em what your made of!

Old timers??? Don't make me take off my belt son. Seriously, I'll never discourage a young man from pursuing his dreams. My boys are your age and I want them to believe that anything they want is within their reach if they are willing to work hard and sacrifice to get it. You may have to get resourceful to make this work out for you. The cost of the trip and tackle are not the only challenges. Is the Capt. willing to take someone your age without a parent? How will you get to the boat and back? How will you gain the confidence of your crew mates? I think all of this can be overcome. Wages can be earned, tackle can be borrowed from the boat or other fishermen, perhaps a family member or adult friend could be talked into going along with you. I guess it comes down to how bad you want it. I'd encourage you to talk to TOO about your interest and ask his opinion. If this is not workable for you remember you have a lot of fishing years and charters ahead of you. Now about the laser, are you talking about strapping one on a sharks head or the crappy import car?

gman, I hope you took your camera. Can't wait to see the report on this trip!

gman · 06-03-2007, 12:37 PM

Age brings experience which doesnt always translate into fish. Im only 35 and my 11 year old has more big fish under his belt than most grown men so age doesnt mean squat.

I just got news that Pelagic Offshore gear has added my son to thier pro team, he is the first junior angler ever to be added, they are sponsering him at 2 major shark tournies this summer. Ill post seperately later and yes we are bringing the cameras

forecast is 4-7's 100 miles offshore ughhhh, captain says were going 60ft viking

Haha, the sailboat....and how does one get on the pelagic pro team, just wondering enquiring minds would like to know.
Your son sounds like one heck of a fisherman gman.

I am tempted to join the trip though I have a trip to Green Canyon within two weeks.

But I have to stay in our area as September and Oct is in prime tuna season in our area. Big bluefin in 150 - 300 lbs usually show at Hudson canyon around 7 -10, Ocotober every year and I can not miss the opportunity.
Good luck guys.

bighead · 06-05-2007, 06:13 PM

Good luck on the jigging and popping trip and on the big bluefin in the fall Kil. One of these days I'll get a chance to fish with you I hope. Please point anyone in your forum this way if they say they want a Tomeny trip. Perhaps I should make a GEM post over there. bert

Bert,
There is a Charter forum on Noreast.com which is designated for solely charters among members. It is very popular among members and I met many other members through the trips. You could post about your trip after you join the site. Any member can organize a fishing trip and post it.

But one of the problem is the price. They organize a three night/four day tuna/tile fishing trip on the 140 ft Viking out of Montauk, NY, which is very similar to the Carribean Sea trip and it cost only $600 each for 20 guys even they travel upto 200 miles. There is no fuel surcharge.
I guess we have more competition among boats than your areas.
