GEM Trip History

Actually, the GEM trips were an offshoot of the old Allcoast TAG trips! TAG meaning Texas Allcoast Gang. We did several trips on the Dolphin and Pelican with some great results! I was on the GEM 03 Trip and it was pretty awesome, the Akela was a wonderful fishing platform. I have some pics from all the trips and if I get a chance I'll post some up in the next few days.

Somewhere I still have an unused GEM T-Shirt! I'll look for it and maybe post a picture of it. It will never hold a candle to the TBB-06 Shirt! That is the most awesome shirt and trip of all!

"Ed" is Ed Bass, owner of the Akela at the time. Yep, that picture is a classic!! The look is priceless, the only other look that is more priceless is when he saw us pulling Downriggers out of McGolfer's truck while at the same time I'm pulling snorkeling gear out of mine! No picture of that one though!

There is a picture in the Gallery of the big yellow Shell Auger rig... flat calm seas that morning. You could hold a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate of eggs in the other without spilling anything that day!

Great Trips!
