Howdy folks,  been a while since I posted. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm trying to get a group together for a fall 24 hour tuna trip. This group has 15 committed right know from www.texasfishingforum.com , we would like to get the number to 25-30, so we could book the entire boat for ourselfs. If we get 30 the cost would be about $150 or so per person. No more that $180 as of right now.

 If anyone is interested in getting involved, post here or there or email me and hopefully you'll see how great a time it is. I organized one last year and we caught some good tuna and Amberjack. It was a blast.  Thanks.

I may be interested if the dates work out.  I went on a 24 hour trip with dolphin docks last weekend, and the snapper fishing was a little slow, but overall good trip.  Boated were 6 good size AJ's and a 52 lb warsaw..

What dates were you thinking of? Also how does that work? Don't you troll for Tuna and 30 people can't troll at once. Or do you bottom fish like you do for Red snapper. I have been looking at some of those Dolphin Docks trips.

The date is for November 8th. 24 hour trip, leaving at either 5 or 6 am on the Gulf Eagle out of Deep Sea Headquarters in Port Aransas. Cost is $250 a person for up 10 folks, then $150 after that. We have 13 currently. We want to limit it to 20 or so folks. 20 brings the cost to $200 per. This is a tuna trip, meaning we are going to target Black-fin and (hopefully)Yellow-fin tuna. Some will bottom fish when we anchor up for Amberjacks or grouper, etc. But it is a tuna focused trip. 

 The two main ways of fishing the G.E does is to chum behind shrimp boats to bring up the tuna. Everyone fishes when drifting behind the shrimpers. At night or when anchored, the stern will be down current and they'll have 7-8  folks fishing off the back. When a tuna is hooked up they clear that person off the back and another person steps up and starts to fish immediately. When the tuna are thick under the lights at night or when anchored  on the rocks out there, your wait won't be long. That's why we're limiting it to 20, 25 max. After a full day fishing you will want to take a short break from fishing after catching a tuna.

 We went last year around the same time, on a 12 hour trip, and had to leave them biting, even then the captain stayed out an hour later than scheduled. We had 3 folks on the boat last year who had fished for tuna, the rest had only been kingfishing, etc, or had caught nothing bigger than stripers. Everyone caught a tuna or two and were amazed how tough they fought. Not to mention how good it is on the grill!

 We hooked and lost a White Marlin and lost a about 60 lb Y-fin on the last trip, lots of these freshwater folks don't know about having to MOVE when the big fish hit. Those were the first two fish of the morning. We're going to have a blast this year, tuna really bite well at night and usually the weather off-shore in early November is awesome.

 Email me if if either of yall are interested, it will be a awesome trip.

I am interested in going with my son on the tuna trip in November. I am not sure I can come up with the $400.00. Is the trip full and when is the money due?
