Tortugas Fishing Trip

[67hat34c]

Carl, We dont charter, Family boat. Dad pays big bills and 3 brothers do the rest and run it. However since my older brother now has 6pk license, charter could be possibility in future but i doubt it.

Sounds like a happy family

I just remembered the starboard side prop had crab line in the cutlass bearing and I could not turn that wheel at all very stiff will this be bad on the trip I'm not hauling out till January

Randy,
I appreciate the invite. We're taking the boat around to St. Pete YC
for the Ribfest that weekend. Next time you head back, give me a call
at 727 510 2586 and we'll fish the 32'. You'll see the baby Hatt.
It parties 10, fishes 5, and sleeps 2!

i really don't think that winter is the right time for the tortugas... cold fronts can kick some nasty stuff for a few days at a time... although heading back north from the Tortugas you'd have it on the nose which is probably the best scenario on such a boat.

still, the anchorage is not that protected from what I 've seen although I've yet to go there :-(

Hey Carl
I have some good numbers going down that way.
I will sleep on the bridge.

Yep those Nov seas are killing me on the right side as well. I've been tring to go swordfishing for 3 weeks now. Now the wave models are showing 18-20' in the stream Sat. I am thinking I should have got a submarine instead of the Hatt.....No not really!

[CARL GUZMAN]

We got room Mike and an air mattres in case . I'll need the numbers my machine erased all mine

Alright you guys, Carl is too much of a gentlemen to bring this up, so I'm going to. I always feed the kitty when me and GuzBoy go GuzCruzin, and I expect ya'll to do the same. If that's a problem, I have an easy solution.

Bring YOUR boat and WE will go with you!

Otherwise, I'll be in charge of the gozintas since I am a math wiz. To be perfectly blount, if Carl is good enough to furnish the transportation, he shouldn't have to pay a penny to go from point A to point B and back hauling our sorry butts around. To that end, the more passengers we carry, the lower the gozintas will be per person. Carl isn't a licensed charterboat captain, but that doesn't mean we can't play a couple of hands of poker and bet a hundred or two on a pair of twos.

Comprenday?

[CARL GUZMAN]

Chill out Randy I'm sure we'll get some Scallywags to go with us we allways do. It's just a matter of mind over matter and what we don't mind someone else don't matter but we always have a good time and we have plenty of time so relax we have some thinkin to do???

There is talk of closing down the Tortugas to all diving and fishing. That should be a cool trip if the weather holds and you may not get a chance to fish it again .
