I think the odds of getting good weather that weekend isn't very good. 2 out of the last three years there have been as many fishable days in nov as fingers on your hand. Good luck. I would watch the weather. A 22 ft boat isn't very fun in 5 fters. Make sure to tag along with eddie or someone else and mark your gps every 100 yards in the river. Fog can be a *****. Wingdams also

Good luck and watch out for those swamp women

Rick- I plan on going out to the 17-mile rig & work our way around & back in
I'm a little concerned about the passes, but I know I'll be in good Company.
as far as mileage, the boats runs right @ 2.2-2.5 mpg w/ 4 men & gear.
85 tank. by the time of the trip, I'll be able to troll a 4-rig spread.
Of Course we're going for the yellows! but I might degrade myself with a couple AJ's or a mahi if I can!

D-A- got your pm, need to discuss w/ other guys if they can absorb the
diff. in fuel cost down there. I will also be discussing the trip w/ another boater this weekend so i may be looking to build 2 crews.

Jared- you make a good point, but w/ the wacky weather in the gulf all year,
who knows? I will definately be watching the reports & talking to Eddie a lot
don't even want to be in 3-4's, but the boat has already proven itself in 8's
w/ the previous owner. the 1 photo I have of it came w/ the boat and it's enough to make you sick!

Update: got most of a crew formed...
1.) Brian Nesbit (lite-liner)- Duh!
2.) Rich Tran (PurEvl)-Confirmed
3.) Joe Livingston (Margarita Mojo)-Confirmed
4.) Ryan Dennehy (Ryno)- Tentative

still need a couple standby's just in case.
Reservation for 1 cabin/2-nights is confirmed @ Venice Marina
Joe sez we can pull the boat w/ his diesel ford crew-cab, so fuel might be cheaper, now. thanks, Joe!
Man I can already smell the Sashimi.........

Damn Brian! Bump it up a few days and I am in. I would have to come home Sunday. I have the whole week off!

PiePuncher · 09-27-2008, 02:30 PM

If seas are not over five and winds are not ripping, I will be in. I have one maybe two spots open. My boat has tons of walk around room. 100 gallon fuel tank. Pope, if you can make it until monday, you are welcome. I have 24 rod holders, so you are welcome to bring what you need. As of now things look good for me. I am selling motorcycle to help pay to get truck fixed. High pressure oil pump went out. sucks.
