Dolphin Docks, Inc

Minnow · 01:07 PM

The Dolphin is an 80 foot vessels that accommodates up to 50 persons for 5 to 72 hour fishing trips. The Dolphin also has sleeping quarters and showers available only on the longer trips for the tired fisherman. Most of the time you are catching so many fish you can't sleep.Children 6 and under not fishing can go with there parents free. Other members of a party who want to site see and watch the fishing can go for half price.

That picture was from James, the guy who caught it.

Do you mind elaborating on rough location of catch, tackle, bait, etc?

Jerry, James may have sent it to you the but it's the picture from the DD website. They have one of me and my fish right next to it.

Jason, we were actually Blackfin fishing and the Yellowfins showed up. Here is one of the threads on the trip.

Wow that was a great read. Gives hope that the big guys can show up anywhere. I just cant believe that was on a 12 hr trip!

JasonF · 06-03-2007, 02:51 PM

Great info. I am still adusting and learning about Texas fishing. It is a bit different than fishing the northeast canyons as I grew up doing. I would have never guessed that you could get on big YFT this side of big southern.

I spent my morning today at Cabela's getting ready for my July trip with dolphin docks. All this talk got me in the mood to get my tackle bag maxed out with some new jig and such. I picked up a Tiagra 30wlrs to replace my alutecnos 50 as my primary weapon. Still undecided as far as line choice. The tiagra sure is pretty on my rod with alutecnos rollers and butt (that I built!) I also saw for the first time in person the Fin-Nor Offshore spinner. I think that I am going ebay my ahab 20 in favor of one of those. Now its up to capt Ken to put me on a monster.

Jason,
Go with 130 JB hollow and change topshots as needed on the tiagra.

Congrats Etan on your grand baby! It kind of got lost in the thread!

Thanks for all the feedback JasonF on the boat.

Since the the Big E will be gone after this year, the 60 and 80 hour trips -as far as head boats go- will be more crowded.

I've had some great trips too on the Dolphin.

Im thinking about going on a 40hr on July 30. I went on one when there were shrimpers out there for BFT, but with the shrimpers not out there (correct me if they are out there) is the 40hr just an extended bottom fishing trip?
Im just wondering if it would really be worth, I will proly still end up going but its going to be every paycheck Ive got since June1 to pay for this.
