Word! With this group I'm not sure what's a safer position - on my back or on my stomach.

So, a couple serious questions for the virgins (ok, for me)...

1) If the boat leaves at 5pm what time does it arrive at the grounds usually?

2) What time does the boat return on Saturday? 5pm ish?

3) What should we bring for a cooler? Just something large enough for food and drink? I assume the fish that are caught are tagged, bled, and iced on the boat?

4) For clarification and rod used specifically for fish in the slick ie Mahi or shark can be braid?

[IKAT]

1--4-5 hours

2--3-5

3--I bring 1 for food and drink--Keep 1 in vehicle for fish to take home or if enough romm at end of trip use food cooler

4--thay don' like braid--if fishing in the slick for mahi I would jig or use weighted feathers.

hope that helps

Thanks, Rick. But, please correct me if I'm wrong before I bring or change out braid for mono on my spinning or jig rod - braid w/a mono topshot is ALLOWED for casting at Mahi, correct? I remember a post about this but, can't find it. For some reason I'm sure it was started by Bucktail...

You guys can do whatever you want in the bunks, I'm going to be at the rail trying to catch some fish. We will be in Federal waters, so if you guys want to get married by the Captain, Obama says its okay with him.

Note to self.........stay out of the bunkroom.....

Just checked the website...

Approximately one half hour before departure, Bob will ask all passengers to gather on the dock and review what many refer to as the "riot act", which is basically a review of dos and don’ts aboard the vessel. Essentially, the following applies:

•Red lights in bunk stay on - Coast Guard Regulation. These lights allow you to move around and find the ladder to leave the bunk room whenever you want to do so.

•Smoking is allowed only on deck outside of the cabin and heads, on the lower or upper deck. Do not grind butts into the deck. Do not flush butts in the toilet.

•Coolers, tackle boxes and any hard plastic items are to be placed on the deck or under tables, or outside the cabin under the benches. The cushions are easily torn when these items are placed on them and are costly to repair. Do not place these items on the cushions.

•The microwave oven must be used properly by covering or wrapping food with paper towels, which we provide for you. Please clean up any spills. We pride ourselves on cleanliness. Remember liquids will spill when the boat is rolling. Please bring a thermos for coffee and the like and do not expect to heat liquids in the microwave when winds are strong.

•Please notice there is a recycling container in the cabin and a garbage can for all other waste in the cabin and another one on the outer deck. Please use them appropriately.

•Salt water is used to flush the heads. There is an unlimited supply. Please flush for as long as needed to empty the toilet. The pump will endure. If uncertain, keep flushing.

•There is a Limited supply of fresh water, from the faucets. Please use this water conservatively. Be certain the faucets are not jammed and running unnecessarily. If we run out of fresh water, we can not replenish until we are back at the dock.

•Bedding ONLY is allowed in the very dry, comfortable bunk room. This is a wooden boat with cloth covered cushions on each bunk. For everyone’s comfort, all personal belongings, tackle boxes, food, etc. remains above in the cabin. The bunk room is for sleeping only, NO DOCKING !! Please leave any wet clothes and foul weather gear above in the cabin, including socks, boots and footwear. This is mandatory to maintain comfort for all.

•Should you feel ill, do not use the bunk room or stay in the cabin. Do not lock yourself in the head; do not vomit in the trash can, get sick over the side. This can only aid the chum slick and maintain comfort aboard the boat for all.

•Captain Bob Pennington has a reputation for maintaining the cleanest head boat on the east coast and takes great pride in this fact. Please cooperate by disposing of chewing gum and garbage appropriately.

I'll be there early! I want to get the closest bunk to the exit!
