Come on along. FWIW, if you could make the 26th person, I'll chip in my $100 rebate toward your ticket.

Mike, what a great idea! Me, too... gotta have Big Tim aboard!

Mike, Aiala : Thank you for the kind gesture, but we needed 26 full paid passengers to get the $100.00 rebate. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and if it's meant to be I will be on that boat. I have a few tricks up my sleeve and if it doesn't work out, I will take my son on a 2.5 or 3.5 dayer later in the season. I pulled my name and took the refund to catch up on bills. I didn't think it fair to hold a spot and bail at the last minute if the money didn't get right in time.

out here in california, we get short changed. a handle for us is 1.75 liters, just a little less than half a gallon. $:-\$

I thought you told me you an Ed were the black sheep of the Tani family

You should know that a handle of booze is always a jug

Not a 1.75...Think of an ol jug of moonshine, that's got to be a gallon

we had to scale back......

welcome to scott rodriguez, aka "sundaytrucka!" we now have a full charter.

there is one problem looming. i thought for sure that i had requested vacation time last year, but apparently i did not, or the email for my request was lost. my co-worker, ben, had also requested time off for family vacation, then decided to come with us. we are trying to both get vacation time that same week, but there may not be enough bodies to go around. ben says he will bow out if the vacation schedule does not work out. i told him that he could go in my place as charter master, but he chuckled and said no.

if we have enough guys, i would like to run with 26 again. that way we can return someone's full fare if they miss a plane flight or there is some other emergency. and it we all 26 make it, we all get money back again! so, guys, send in the other half of the payment, if you haven't already. i will send out emails to everyone as well. thanks! alan

Big Tim · March 15, 2015, 01:49:22 AM

Alan, I will gladly take your fully paid charter master spot

Seriously, this needs a couple of stand by's , or run 26... I am working feverishly to secure spot 25 or 26

YES!!! I am so excited for the trip!

This will be my first long range trip, overnight trips have been the longest thus far.

Thank you Alan!

Taking this along with me, just put in new spool bearings and 3.3:1 gear set purchased today.

Yellowtail Killer.

So excited!!!

Bryan Young · March 15, 2015, 05:40:19 AM

Who still is selling gear sets?

sundaytrucka · March 15, 2015, 01:17:27 PM

Hey Bryan,

I bought my 3.3 set from Ken's Custom Reels in Oceanside, I believe he has one more 3.3:1 and some of the higher gear sets avaiIable (all used gear sets, for $40).

I contacted Tiburon, as you suggested, and they still have some; Quick Change gear sets in stock, I believe all except the 2.9:1, selling for 56.99.

I asked Tiburon about the SST upgrade for the 7530, and said it would have to be sent in to Tiburon for the upgrade, they do not sell the kit as an upgrade, I was told the right side plate is swapped out for an SST model side plate, confirmed at Ken's Custom also.

Man, how am I going to wait three months for the trip!? I cannot wait!

Some of us can't make it and at least one can't wait for the reports.
