Tominator Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 My apologies to the dial up guys, but check this out: http://www.bitemesportfishing.com/video1.html I'm thinking of booking these guys when I'm out there in December. I had to click on the play button a couple times to get it to work. That boy can drive a boat! Here's the video page if you want to watch the rest. http://www.bitemesportfishing.com/video.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: OMG--You Have to Check This Out [ QUOTE ] Was he driving or was the fish pulling him around? [/ QUOTE ] Driving.........backwards. I've piloted boats that size before when I was in the Coast Guard, and let me tell you, with a twin screw going backwards like that, that's tough. That guy wants around $375 for a 1/2 day charter. I've got to do it, even as expensive as it is, something just tells me it will be the only chance I get to ever do this in my life. I've got visions of old American Sportsman running through my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: OMG--You Have to Check This Out $375 isn't bad...............you better jump on that. You billfishing or bottom fishing or what?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: OMG--You Have to Check This Out $375 doesn't sound too bad for a half day. I have a buddy that lives in Pensacola and it costs him about $250 just to fill his boat up with gas and it's a little smaller than the one in the video.

You billfishing or bottom fishing or what?? [/ QUOTE ] That website for the "Bite Me" (his name, not mine) is strictly a trolling dude I think. They keep any fish over 50lbs. Anything under 50 is up us to toss back or keep. I guess most of those guys offset some of their costs by keeping what is caught, which is fine with me, because I don't know what I'd do with 200lbs of marlin anyway I did find a few bottom charters, and a lot of charters are strictly catch and release. I wouldn't mind keeping 1 dorado to grill up at a park or something, I think that would be good, but other than that, I have no interest in the fish after I take a picture. December is not a very good month for marlin. I guess they catch 3 types out there, Blue (most common), striped and black. I guess black is rare, and striped kind of rare. Looks like Ahi (tuna) will be our best bet. Either way, just to say I did it will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
