[AquaBoogie]

Can you say, tuna sandwiches?
How many dishes can you make with tuna?
Baked tuna, grilled tuna, broiled tuna, tuna helper, ...
HDD, can you sell them when you get back?

[hot_diggity_dog]

okay i had to ask. how much will a trip like that cost me??? or you? i want to go. Just like asking Charley how much his boat cost. If you have to ask you probably can't afford it. J/K :rolleyes:
200.00 dollars a day, not including beer, Mexican fishing permits and the good old Diesel fuel surcharge, plus $200.00 to $300.00 dollar tip to the crew. :o
About $2,500.00 plus my $8,000.00 dollars worth of poles, reels, and tackle. argue
They do rent the stuff as well. :p

It's Illegal to sell any sport caught fish, big fines by the DFG. eek! :mad:
Believe me I have many more killer reciepies than the above-mentioned dishes. :D
Ask Ziggy, Mtndewdrops, Warlock25, The Pastie Hunter, Scuba, Dog House about the fresh Albacore fish taco's on the boat at OP6C V. wink :D
Have you ever had a Albacore burger??? :D
HDD :cool:

[AquaBoogie]

Sounds good. I forgot about the fish tacos. Never had an albacore burger, but it sounds like it would go good with a cold one. But then again, what wouldn't?

[AquaBoogie]

Save Nemo while you're out there.

[Rexone]

Have a good one HDD. I've been on the Qualifier 105 and Royal Star several trips but not the Excel. Should be a good one. Have fun and don't fall in.

[mbrown2]

Good luck on the fishing...sounds like a blast.

[SandbarScot]

Have fun HDD. Dont forget your zebra hat.

[El Chingon]
