Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

Few members wanted some basic information on fishing the Dry Tortugas for our Yankee Capt Trip if we get the green light. So, our charter capt. Cudaman (Herb) said pick a weekend that works for everyone. We will most likely head to a sports bar with the group and talk about fishing in DT over a few beers and some food. I will have a few special guess to speak about our trip sponsored by "What Goes Down Must Come Up" tks, Rare

what size hooks should i use ? do you think i could use 20lb braid with 3oz leads to reach bottom ?

do i buy my own squid or will the boat have it for me ? how do you make a chicken rig ? are yellow tail good to eat ? how big are the grunts ? what about needle fish will i be able to catch them ? what about sleeping do we take turns laying on a bench or is it first come first serve ? how bout ice in my cooler should i bring my own ? do you think ramen noodles would be fyne for the trip ? will we be making any stops once out there for mcdonalds or maybe wendys ? do i have to bring a change of clothes ? will there be a sun deck where i can lay out to work on my tan ? will i really have my own bathroom ?

Biggest question is DT Vs. PR?

Vertical jigging really worthy Vs. chicken rig? In general, I could see VJ is good for middle-depth water fish...not sure about bottom, you already know the depth fish are around... I am saying this because most guys caught grouper with VJ on last DT trip. I would like to know which one caught more fish?

How many rods recommended? how many for bottom and how many for free line?

How many coolers allowed?

Do we have to catch bait before the trip? What would be the best bait?

What time leaving and coming back?

What about we standardize our main line and sinker to minimize line tangle?

That's the point for this get together

Remember this several years ago when you held a seminar at Markham Park? End up with a strong fishing crew ever since.
