Want to experience a fishing trip of a lifetime and the chance to enjoy great camaraderie?

We have about 6 spots open on the trip below!

We'll pursue TUNA, WAHOO, other Pelagics and also find AJ, Grouper, etc. as weather and conditions permit.

Below are the details regarding a planned GEM 06 trip.

We have secured the boat with a deposit of $1,000 for the November 18-21 dates.

TOO has the following deposits:

McGolfer (Rick Torian)
Ragman (Tom Titus)

Committed:
Minnows (TJ)
Kilsong (Kil)
Paddler (Mark)

We have about 6 spots open and the first 6 to send a $500 deposit to TOO will be secured. The remainder of the amount will need to be paid in full either in payments or in full on or before October 18.

We'll also keep a stand-by list (according to deposits received).

You may contact me or Willie at TOO anytime or post here with any questions.

Please see the link below to view the boat, Carribeanean Sea, and the Captain's information.

FROM TOO:

"Talked in great detail with Captain Steve Tomeny of Tomeny's Charters
in Port Fourchon, Louisiana.

He runs four 65' offshore charters and has charters that can handle the criteria of the GEM 06 the groups needs.

The website is: http://www.stevetomenycharters.com and he has two boats that can handle a group of 8-12 fishermen.

The boat that will fit the GEM 06 is the Carribean Sea.

All four of the boats are based on the same 65' hull and are
topped out with different decks and cabins. Both of these
boats are outfitted with new diesel engines and will cruise at 12-15
knots on the way out and back and still give enough fuel to be out
for 4 days.

We know that the group would like the center console style
boat and the Carribean Sea seems to fit that criteria.

Both boats have 1000 gallon fuel tanks, 500 gl water tanks, bunks, showers, and a stainless steel grill.

Captain Tomeny strongly suggests fishing Greens Canyon for the 3
nights out there, with a possibility of running into some close by
deepwater bottom areas for extra large AJ's, snapper, and
grouper.

He made this suggestion on the fishing techniques:

night fish for tuna however the group wants to fish at the various spars in the Greens Canyon area, then either troll the rigs for Marlin, wahoo, tuna,
dorado, etc, or daytime chunk for tuna, (he said that works well out
in Greens Canyon for tuna), along with kite fishing with hard tails
and other "livies" during the day.

These styles can be broken up and the group can troll for a while then kite fish, then day time chunk, however the group wants to pursue the day time bite.

If the group wants to run in to bottom fish one day of the 2 full days out there then that fits in nicely. Or the group can bottom fish
on the way out the first day and back in the last day.

He suggests that the group leave around 9 am on the day of departure,
stop about halfway out, fish for bait and some big bottom fish, then
continue out get situated for the night bite for tuna and fish until
day light or as the group wishes.

Then the next three day time the choices of trolling the spars, kite fishing, day time chunking, etc can be made through until the last morning, where they figure the group will want to stop on the way in and top off the ice
chests with the deep drop fish.

He is aware that the groups main focus is night time tuna fishing.

His captains are young and gung-ho to fish as long as folks want, and
the boat will have two operational captains, not just two
to be legal, so repositioning drifts and moving to other spars during
the night is not a problem.

He is aware of the experience and self-sufficient level of the group
and says his captains are perfectly happy being asked to get the boat
to an area and letting the group do the fishing they want.

He did offer to send us a suggested float plan of the various spars
and areas that he thinks will pay off handsomely!

Costexcept for fuel and food), for Carribean Sea for the 4 days, with all fee's and gratuity included is:

Carribean Sea with 10 fishermen would be $1,206 total per person at the $2.75 a gallon fuel cost consuming 750 Gallons.

Fuel cost: Diesel is currently $2.10 a gallon for Captain Tomeny and
he dosen't expect to rise above $2.50-$2.75 for him in Port
Forchon.

He does get the rebates for federal and state tax, so that
keeps his total fuel cost down somewhat. We also know that fuel cost
might go over $4.00 a gallon retail so this is the only unknown
variable.

However the group would pay only for the fuel used fill up
to fill up.

Their last trip on the Carribean Sea used 450+ gallons to the Greens
Canyon area to fish, and that was running at the 15-17 knot
range. He figures that running out there at 12-14 knots depending on
the seas, staying out three nights, trolling a lot, maybe running in
one day to bottom fish and heading back eventually will burn 750(+ or
-) gallons.

At $2.10 a gallon, that will be around $1,600 or $200 a
person. Of course an increase in fuel price will change that figure.

At $2.75 a gallon we are looking at $2060 or $257.50 per person for fuel.

Food: As with the other charters they are happy to buy what the group
wants and have it there ready to go at the cost to buy it.

They do hope that the group will want fresh grilled fish at least one of the
evenings.

Food, transportation, and lodging (1-2 nights) would be the only other costs to consider.

If fuel costs were to be higher than that then we'd of course give a
revised cost.

One other thing, we specifically asked if he can and will commit to
this trip, and that we don't want him to come back and say
he can't do this trip after weeks of discussion trying to line up the
trip.

Captain Tomeny said he'll not back out. We made damn sure as the last
thing we need is someone changing their mind after the group wants to
solidify a deal.

There is inexpensive lodging at Port Fourchon as well.

You will find plenty of experience on the boat bighead. Do even worry about this trip making. It's a go.
Just fire the questions away.

Just found the board but looks like this post may become the "war room" for the trip. Looking forward to fishing with everyone.

"war room", LOL I like it. however and not trying to dictate, but the orginal intent of the GEM was an All-coast Gulf of Mexico section invention if I remember correctly. Don't know if the group has a problem with it coming off the A-C boards or not. But I do like War Room

i think this board will do just fine for all the gem-06 information. keeps it a little more personal and we shouldn't get to many post that are inquiring information on what a gem trip is about....rick

Hi Jeremy, glad to be fishing with you! Where are you from? Are you new to tuna or an old hand at it? Bert

I am from houston and am not new to tuna or other types of offshore fishing. I have caught yellowfin on topwaters, jigs and live bait and fished with most of the group before on the Big E Halloween trip last year. My passion is swordfishing and hope to do a that at night once we have YFT limits. Also, if anyone else is coming from the houston area let me know I would like to carpool. My rolling tackle box(truck) could handle at least one or maybe two guys for the trip across.
