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'm in at 15 people too. 23rd or 24th is fine with me. We should hear from STXFisherman by tomorrow, but hold a spot for him until then.

Put me down for Two spots, mine, as shown above, and StxFisherman's. Richard is probably out at the ranch dodging tornadoes right now and won't be reading the board tonight.

This should be a great trip!! Hope we can get the Pelican, but I like all the DSH Boats.

Willie, is this the trip you mentioned to me on the phone yesterday?

I fish with John on 12 hour trips on the Pelican regularly and can say that I feel he is the most likely captain that will want to target tuna. In fact Jerry (snagged), Tom (DBG), Richard (STXfisherman) and Scott (Bellyup) went along on some of them and we filled the boat with blackfins.

Only thing is. The dates are pretty close to the time the shrimpers head back out and it sometimes takes the tuna a couple of weeks to find them. Unless they head straight to deep water, that is.

The ideal trip for John is 15.

Looks like you have more than enough here to do it but if not I could take anywhere from 1 - 4 spots myself.

Awesum, yes, this is the charter. Didn't know there woulde be this much interest so quick. Right now we are at 17. It looks like the demand is for 15 people on the Pelican. We can and will put you on stand by if you want.
The 23rd has to be because of the dates we'll be down there in Port Aransas. That is about a week after the shrimp season opens, so there hoefully will be some deep shrimpers by then. It is a crap shoot for sure a week into the shrimp season.
Here's what I did, booked the Pelican for July 23rd, a Monday and also the Pelican for October 14th, 20007, a Sunday for my buddies to do a tuna run and gun charter. I moved them to the October charter along with some other bums that I know that think they can handle tuna.
The October Pelican charter will be for my buds, and if we need to fill spots on the October trip I'll take PM's asking to join the October charter, just in case.
Right know we have about 15-17 saying they'll do the October charter but as is well known, folks don't always come through when time to pay. So right now here is the list for the July 23rd charter.

1.TOO
2.TOO
3.Jerry S
4.Richard
5.Tom S
6.Kevin Green
7.Tass
8.Tass
9.Rooster
10.Ronnie
11.Carol
12.Charlie W
13.Charlie W
14.Charlie W
15.Drifter
16.Drifter
17.Shanker

I no longer fish offshore, and would not on this charter except to help out Son One he needed help, so the real number would be 16 fishing for the July charter. That Ok with folks for 16? One extra to include everyone that asked to join the trip, except unfortunately Awesum? PM's will be going out to discuss the option.
We'll need $65 for eveyone going and the balance of $75 in early July so we'll be ready to rock and roll. Payment information will be in the PM's as well.
We'll get the details fine tuned in a few days on who's going and etc.
