PLEASE READ:

I AM NOT SCHEDULING ANY TRIPS UNTIL SUMMER 2025.

TRIPS WILL BE SHORT NOTICE AND TYPICALLY ONLY SCHEDULED 3-7 DAYS IN ADVANCE BASED ON SHORT-NOTICE WEATHER WINDOWS AND MY PERSONAL AVAILABILITY.

if you are INTERESTED in a short-notice, cost-share trip or tournament on mad props please email ME and follow our facebook page for trip notifications.

SCHEDULED Tournament ARRANGEMENTS AVAILABLE as well.

IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS A TRIP, WE CAN TALK ABOUT A GENERAL PERIOD (I.E. SOMETIME IN JUNE), THEN WE CAN STAY IN CONTACT AND WHEN THE WEATHER GETS RIGHT, WE WILL TRY TO PUT A TRIP TOGETHER. YOU MUST BE FLEXIBLE ON TIMING. CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS FURTHER.

ALL TRIPS WILL BE TARGETING BILLFISH, WITH OTHER PELAGIC SPECIES SECONDARY OR AS BYCATCH. SOME BOTTOM FISHING MAY OCCUR, BUT NOT GUARANTEED.

MOST TRIPS ARE 36-60 HOURS, WITH SOME 12-24 HOUR TRIPS.

SHORT DAY TRIPS WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR INTERESTING TRADES OR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
