Hey folks, if u didn't know, DSH is having special 20hr Blackfin Tuna trips starting on 12th Feb. Maybe some YFT in da mix. Call them for info.

I gave them a quick call and here are the specs:

Trips leave at 2:00 p.m., and then come back next day at 10:00 a.m.
Cost is $300, no fuel surcharge. Next trip is on February 12th.

Basically a Blackfin hunt, possibly some bottom fishing for AJ, but the trip is not out to the floaters.

Call DSH for more details - (361) 749-5597

Sounds like a great trip. Drop a 10 ounce jig on a 50Wide with 130 pound line and crank the poor SOB s up in low gear one after another for about 15 hours. Take it all home and tell everyone it's yellow fin.

Those would be great trips for guys that haven't yet done a floater trip yet!

Though I love to chase YFT's (and BFT's can be a hassle then), just going after BFT's with lighter gear and such would be a lot of fun!

They fight like freight trains and taste just as good to me, just smaller fillets!

i wonder how many u get to keep? no limit is a grey number
we went with captn eddie last trip and i could have sank the boat if i kept all the bft, we couldnt get the jigs past 60'. that trip was a blast

on the YF trips the open limit is a pain because people will bag 25+++ BF each and leave no room in the boxes for the YF

I just realized that I've not posted in over a year--guess I know to keep my mouth shut when I don't have anything to say. I'm going out on the 20 hour trip on the 4th; hope one or two from the board will be along. It was looking pretty rocky, what with the 30-40 knot winds Monday, but it should wind down. Look forward to it--my first overnighter.

Just got the call--they're canceling. I was really looking forward to it... DSH isn't going out next week... any ideas, anyone? This weekend looks like another blowout.
