Got plenty of sleep and good trip don't go together with a Tugas trip :pistols: Nice catch especially considering the conditions.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Excellent write up, Herb! :toast: Nothing like 32 oz of lead trying to hold bottom and current sweeping it like a hot knife going through butter.

Thanks guys.

I know what you mean Chris, now days I see this sleeping thing repeating more and more.

r00kie, you usually end up paying about $800 including tip plus what you spent on food and gear it goes up from 1K to 1.5K.

Maybe its time to do a Yankee Capts trip with the forum.... eatpop backs in the days this was done with the members on the Florida Fish Finder. If done, understand that this is the real deal heading out to the DT like we did but with 15 to 20 peeps. I can think of 5 of us that will do it with no problem right from the top of my head. This is a real commitment since one guys will be in charge of putting it together and handling all of it & giving the cash to Capt. Greg. Just an idea for another thread to start 8)
