Cost / Person: $125?
Number of People: 15-20?

Hi folks, got a bug in the head here. Son One is really talking up this years 12 hour offshore trip when we are down in Port Aransas this July. He's thinking he's ready to slap around some blackfin and maybe a yellowfin since he's caught a 35+lb smoker king last year.
My idea is to private charter the Pelican/Kingfisher/G.E. from DSH one one of the days between the dates at the top in July. We'll be in Port Aransas from July 16th through the 26th (as of now). It may be longer or a bit shorter.
Thinking about chartering one of the boats during the week Tuesday-Thursday. We were fortunate, last year's open charter had 30+ on board, but they were good people that worked together overall. However it was too crowded for me. Son One was fine with it, not knowing any better.
Ideal is to run and gun for Tuna behind the shrimpboats, and maybe top it off with some deep drops. Know it is hit or miss for tuna, but it's always fun to hunt them down. Son One really thinks he's ready for tuna hunting.
The main thing is there will be line pulling going on of some type.
Figure on limiting the number for comfort and still be affordable. Don't know what is available or when but if there is interest, I believe we can get DSH to work with us on getting a charter date during those dates.
It would be equal sharing of costs for everyone based on the number that we settle on going.
Not expecting it to be a tuna war, but odds are fair for getting into them in late July.
Parent/child charter would be cool as I only do this trip every year in July for Son One, who is into offshore fishing. Will leave it to any interested parties to provide input on what they think will work as well.
I've never found DSH to just take our money and not try to put folks on fish.
As this would be a personal trip like Tuna I through Quatro Tuna, please email at outdoorstexas@yahoo.com if you have an interest as well as posting here.
Let me know if interested.

I would be very interested at an awesome price like this, heck the dolphin express got into them yellows last september, pelican would be cool as Ive never been on it and seems to be the fastest, has it got the repower yet?
How much would a 24hr with the same targets cost?


Thanks for this, looking forward to this one as its just gonna be the shorter trips for me this year, gotta help the parents out with me and a truck.

TOO, the Corpus bunch would have a big interest. DBG, Snagged and StXfisherman. Keep us informed, and I'm sure the others will chime in.

Ok folks, here's the details.
Date:
The Peican and the Kingfisher are available on just about ever weekyday the week of the July 16th-20th and July 23rd-27th of 2007. Meaning Monday- Thursday both weeks. I do not want to charter on a weekend. So this not a problem right now.
Boat:
As far as the boats, folks know Captain John on the Pelican is outstanding, and I have a very good fishing relationship with Captain Keith on the Kingfisher. (Captain Keith captained Tuna II through Quatro Tuna for us and always busted his rear to put us on fish)
I'll make a decision on Wednesday on what day and boat and reserve a boat. It is a hard choice, Captain John has spots that none else does, and Captain Keith is motivated to do well on these charters, as well knowing the style of run and gun tuna hunting mentioned on the first post.
Cost: The cost of a 12 hour is $1,900 for up to 10 people and $60 for each additional person.
I'm leaning towards 15-20 people to make the cost more reasonable yet keep the numbers managable.
Here is the cost at 15 and 20 on board:
15 people total cost $2,200 or $146.67 per person
20 people total cost $2,500 or $125 per person.

As always, if someone wants two or more spots (father/mother and son/daughter) that increases the cost per family so bear that in mind if you are paying for one spot and want to keep it at 15 or so people. Lord knows i'll be spending a ton of money already besides this charter for the days down there.
If intersted please post up and/or email/PM me your name, how many and if it family or separate folks.
I'm leaning towards the 18th or 19th or 23rd or 24th, depending on when shrimping season opens. It looks like July 16th, so I'm leaning towards the 23rd or 24th. I will confirm the dates and then reserve the boat.
Feel free to make commits or suggestions on this. I know Team Oso mentioned a 24, that will not happen with this charter, got too many other things to do while down there those days.

One other thing, I need commitments to this charter, not interested only, and if interested, the desposit will have to be made on the date specified once we reserve the boat. If you reserve spots and have to pull out, I will try to find a repacement for you, but it will be your responsibilty to find a replacement. I'll be paying equal share for Son One and myself, just like everyone else.
Right now here is the committed list without a date specified:

DSH charter mid/late July tentative: July 23 or 24th, 2007
1.TOO
2.TOO
3.TOO
4.TOO
5.TOO


Ok, lets see who wants to run and gun! Son one sure does!

let me talk to wife Number 1 and see how she feels. I would love to fish with DSH again! July 23 would be perfect... only 1 day off work, and Carol is off on that day anyways. We would drive down the sunday, get a room, and be ready to go.... Perfect situation for what I have been wanting to see with her. She will be on dramamine and knows the rules..No turning back.

OK- just talked to her.. if its on the 23rd - we are in definately. Money ready to be sent.

Keep it to 15 people and I'm sure you'll have the Corpus bunch.
I'm in at 15.
