BAhamas Live Aboard Trip - fish 24x7

[Over Under]

The dates I have open to put this trip together are March 25-29th. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I'll try to get it scheduled. For those of you who missed the original trip description, here it is again:



The guys that are looking for people to join them, want to go on one of our "Excursion Trips". This is a one of a kind opportunity. We only take people we know and who have fished with us before, on these trips.

We begin by flying into Rum Cay, which is a tiny little island about 10 miles around. The fishing and diving there is spectacular, and it is where I take my personal vaction time. From Rum cay, we leave the following morning, fishing our way to Crooked Island. Crooked Island is about 50 miles south of Rum Cay and offers an incredible, unspoiled, and totally underfished fishery. There are no marinas or facilities for traveling boats on Crooked, thus it's appeal to us. We anchor in the leeward side of the island, diving for grouper/loberster/conch for dinner, then dropping back on the hook a bit, we let our stern hang just inside the dropoff. At night we fish for yellowtail and snapper and feast on the days catch. (Everyone pitches in cooking and cleaning up)

From Crooked Island we venture (weather permitting) to the Diana bank, which is an underwater sea mount located out in the middle of nowhere. From 5000' this underwater island rises to 100' or something. This area, may be the most productive spot in the entire Bahamas. We will end up the day back in the leeward side of crooked again for the night. The following day, we have the option of running to the Diana Bank again, or Fishing Crooked. Eventually fish our way back to Rum Cay, for the flight home.

We limit these trips to groups of 4 anglers, plus Pete, Myself, and sometimes a Bahamian mate. This is obviously a trip for the serious.....no bars, girls or crowds. But there is plenty of spectacular scenery, unspoiled fishing grounds, and the opportunity to fish 24x7 for 4 days!.

I'm watching you on ESPN right now. Cat island seems like a great spot. It said that you were using 3 feet of 300lb fluoro as a leader on your lures. Is that all the leader you use. Do you use double line? That setup seems easier to handle than the traditional 10 feet
