Yankee Capts Boatless Trip 2015

[cudaman]

Well, that is 7 for a Yankee Capts trip. In May grouper opens and is a great month. If you all want an impressive and abundant catch, Pulley Ridge is the place. In May the blackfin tunas are abundant, there is occasional wahoo, and the Mutton Snapper and Red Grouper bite is good at night.

Start putting money away. I will speak with the Captain for pricing. Pulley Ridge can be Capped at 20 people. Dry Tortugas at 30 for a light load. That leaves plenty space at the Rail. We can do a 2.5 day to Tugas or a 3 day to Pulley.

No electric reels are needed at pulley but if you have them then you won't need elbow grease. If I can do without, anyones else can. A 4:1 reel will do. Only need 2 to 3 pounds to hold (or pray you do)


Before I contact the Captain I would like to know how many more are interested and an idea on what month you all would like to go. I can fill in the gap with other people.

Dry Tortugas:
April, Grouper opens in Gulf (exept Gag)
May, Grouper opens in Atlantic
June: Pray for American Red Snapper to open.
July: Hot, Hot, Hot temperatures,
August: Hot, Hot, Hot temperatures
September: Mutton Snapper in DT starts to get better
October: Great month
November: Great Month


Pulley, should be good all year.

[cudaman]

Cool Ed

[ffishermen1]

I am trying to get the time off for the last pully in June. Not sure if the job will give it to me.

I know May is out of the question for me, busiest month for me.

If I can't get June off my only options are July-Sept for me. Not sure if its going to be worth it.

[grouperking]

Just wondering approximately how much would it cost?

[gruntking]

yeah im bout a trip but screw that pulley ridge crap

[ilovefishing]

I'm down, ready to pay now if necessary. Not too sure about a pulley ridge trip because I don't wanna spend all that $ on an electric setup though.

[Leadslinger]

Once a date a set I'm game. Couldn't care less when, just need the heads up to take time away from the fort to come back to the fort...lol

[cudaman]

ffishermen1, no worries nothing set in stone yet. I just want to get a feel of how many and when everyone can go.


Joe, this is not Yuri type Pulley Ridge. We would not fish in 1,000 feet deep. It would be 300 to 500 feet. But if the majority says Dry Tortugas then that's where we will go. By the way Yankee Capts PR trip is one hell of a meat trip. But in the DT there is more challenge.


As a far as $ we need to know how many, how many days, and where we will be fishing. It can be anywhere from 500 to 700 bucks.

Sounds good.

No worries, we will go where the majority wnats to go. But again you donot need an electric to fish in 300 to 500 feet of water.

[gruntking]

hey njoy that 3 to 500 man thats alot of cranking bro

[permitchaser]

Excuse my googan question but what its the difference between PR and DT?

[cudaman]

LOL Joe.


PR = Pulley Ridge
DT = Dry Tortugas

[permitchaser]

LOL Joe.


PR = Pulley Ridge
DT = Dry Tortugas

yes I got that Herb lol so 2 diff spots ok my vote where the majority wants to go. April its a golden month imho.

[cudaman]

My bad Raul

Pulley Ridge is about a 12 hour ride and isdeep water fish fishing during daytime and reef fish plus big blackfin tuna fishing at night.

DRY Tortugas is fishing about 80 to 250 feet fishing for reef fish and pelagics.

[gruntking]

LOL Joe.


PR = Pulley Ridge deep water chicken rigging
DT = Dry Tortugas 200 under muttons grouper good fishing

[cudaman]

LOL, we will discard Pulley Ridge I guess. But will wait a week or so to see where everyone else says.

[keepinitreel]

I am in for which ever but I think he is on to something with pulley...I went there for the first time this year thanks to Anglers and it was the best fishing I have done never caught so many different big groupers jigging

[fishnfool73]

I would consider it depending in dates

[Miami_Chris]

I'd deff be up for this if it's straight DT fishing. I'll pass on the deep drop stuff.

[Rare]

You know how i feel about deep dropping . I think a short 2day will work for many of us or the new guys going to DT. Or at least the 2.5 days

[Rare]

After voting i have see that everyone wants a 3day trip...lol

[ffishermen1]

Great news I got the time off for the June PR trip.

Depending when this trip is going to take place I would be able to make a second trip.

I'll pm you Herb to pick your brain on doing a PR trip.

[Leadslinger]
