New guy here,as some had pointed me here from THT.Nice web site and I hope I can add to it.Myself,I been boating for over 40 years.I fish from jiging sac a lait(white perch for ya'll guys outside of Louisiana LOL) to jiging big yellowfin tuna.I had been fishing the Gulf of Mexico for over 25 years.My quest is to catch a 200+lb yellowfin tuna which my best is a 156lb beast on 30lb gear.
I know my way around boats,including building them.I own 4 at this time which 2 are for offshore and 1 flats boat I use to chase trout with,and the other I use to fish/hunt ducks in fresh water.

Thanks guys.I will be looking for 3-4 to fish Feb 23&24 down in Venice if the weather looks fair.I have everything that is needed.The extra crew would have to be willing to fish with my wife on board,can't leave her behine.Als0,next weather date that is clear enought some time in between now and then to do a Lump trip I will need extra crew menbers.I work shift hours and I do like to fish week days.Most trips at this time of the year needs about a 36 hour planning ahead.If a window opens,I will post up if anybody wants to go.
