Reel Repair by Alan Tani

the 8-day long range trip is october 1-9, 2025.  the total for the boat is $88,000.  adding a 17% tip brings the total up to $102,960.  divided through by 22 spots comes out to $4680 per person.  if we have fewer guys, i will just divide through by that number.  hopefully, it will not come down to that.

as soon as possible, i will need a 50% deposit check of $2340 mailed to me.  i will be on the phone all week.  gentlemen, thank you!  alan

Signed me up I'll send you a deposit

C'mon guys and gals, we need 8 more to fill out this limited load (22) trip! Only $4000 before tip. If you have been thinking about extending your trip range, now's the time to do it! You'll be hard pressed to find a better opportunity! Let's go!

This trip is one not to miss.  Besides me, Warren, John, Ed (bloody Mary specialist), Rock Star, and Ed (fly fisherman extrodaniar) AND being on the SOA, you can't find a better trip!

Oh don't forget the BossMan.

My 5th year and looking forward to 6 years.   Bill

I agree. I would be there this year but cedros killed my budget.

It has been said many times, but bears repeating: if you have done some shorter trips (1.5 - 3 day), and would like to go but are apprehensive because you may only have 2 or 3 outfits - DON'T BE!  Yes, many of us bring enough gear to fill a dock cart, but the truth of the matter is by the end of the trip it is not uncommon to have caught my fish on two or maybe three outfits.  Heck last Oktober I probably caught 1/2 my fish on Bill's Fathom 60 setup while my 10 outfits were in the racks!  Don't have a heavy trolling outfit for big tuna and wahoo?  No worries, there will probably be at least 10 on the boat and there is only enough room to troll 5 at a time anyway.  Yes, Steve "Tuna North" Carson has an awesome You Tube video on "5 outfits to not leave the dock without" but if you only have 3 - go anyway and we will figure out the rest.  Live some distance away but don't want to fly with rods?  A few years back when Hardy Boy Todd went he flew in with just his reels and fished with borrowed sticks.  If any of these challenges sound like "you", say something and we can probably figure it out; as Bill said this is a great group of guys. - john

Come with your personal items and someone will have what you need.  Arange loaner gear in advance.   

Contact Alan or The Spirit Of Adventure office directly at the H&M landing for more information.

Seriously,  all you need is a duffle bag and passport!  Don't make us fish with some lame from "somewhere" else.     

Wish I could!!!

Me too but I am on the 10 day.

You need to do both trips Keta! YOLO!
