Crew

[Fortunate One]

It looks like there may be an opportunity to get a trip in Friday/Saturday.

Headed to Veatch or points east if necessary. The wind has been blowing from the south for 4 days so I'm hoping that the warm water is still on the shelf and that it has continued to move west. Best case would be to see it's in Atlantis on the next sat shot.

The forecast on this window is tricky but from what I'm seeing it may be possible. However, if the fronts get delayed then we're looking at a Saturday/Sunday trip. Going to be a tight call, but I've started the prep with anticipation of going.

I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of others that we've fished with, but there may be a couple of openings left so if you're interested send me a PM and I'll get back to you.

Since it could be sporty, we'd only be interested in taking people that have a good amount of offshore experience.

Like I indicated, I'm still waiting for others to respond, but there is a possibility we may have room for one or two experienced crew.

BTW, Capt Bill Brown will come along for the ride as my guest. He allows me to share in the fishing and gets me off the helm.

Just spoke to Mike, we could still take 1 or 2 guys... By January you'd give you left nut to be out at the canyons catching Swords and Yellowfin, so man up and lets go fishing

This is the perfect trip to tell the wife, but honey I promise, this is the last canyon Trip of the year......

My 2 cents also. If you truly have offshore experience; you stay home in a forecast like that no matter how strong the boat is.

The sea always wins in the end.
