I would also think that this far out, HelenH would be willing to accommodate us as a group should they have openings on a different date. |

 |  Yup I could bring my 80+AFTCO belt.  We know the 50's are no match for the giants of the night!  You bringing the steel leadered shark rigs?
 
I PM'd those 2 guys to make sure they know the time to get on board is NOW! |

				 | Seriously considering this. Never been on any kind of tuna trip before. Not set up with gear very well for this type of fishing. Have a Newell 447 that I use for bottom fishing, and one of my striper reels is a Stella 10000SW. The Newell is on an 8' "custom" Ugly Stick which works well for cod/haddock/pollock but is probably too light for yellowfin. If I grabbed a standup rod for the Stella somewhere do you think I'd get by? Did you see any similar setups on the last trip? Or would you just rent a Shimano setup from them?
 Thanks.

No white rods allowed.... lol if you are not sure then rent your first year, its cheap enough and there is no shame in it.
 
Paul& phil if we get enough peeps you think they would make it a 3 day? Just tossing it out there sounds like we have 1/3 rd the boat already.

				 | Matt,
 I go on these trips at least once a year (usually three trips a year between the Helen H and the Frances Fleet).
 
 I'm not sure if the Newell would stand up to a decent sized yellowfin.  There are also a few swordfish caught on these trips...
 
 If I'm on the trip you're more than welcome to use some of my gear (I tend to bring everything I own, WAY more than I need).
 
 Generally I think someone going on this trip should bring:
 
 1  30 lb outfit for chunking
 1  15-20 lb spinning outfit for casting to mahi and catching bait
 1  jigging outfit
 
 I'm sure there are many other options but that's where I started.
 
 Hope to see you there.
 
 Charlie

 |  Look at their published schedule, every day is booked so they would have to convert 3 2 day trips into 2 3 day trips to stay every day, not likely in my opinion. |
