Cheers Wid Turkey
 
Just a bit of an update
 
To answere the question
Pure jigging?
As this this plan in progress has originated from a Jigging forum I will go with the flow on what fishing we do.
If you want pure jig fishing the answere is yes, If someone wants to try something else that dont interfere with the hard out jiggers I dont have a problem with that.
I will be taking #12 fly rod, popper rig and jigging rigs, all that is fairly compact, I,ll just hire a big bottopm rig if required. Hey I dont mind even chucking a few lures out between spots.
And the weather !
Enchanter is 56ft long with walkaround decks, with six anglers, yehaaa
Cheers

CW , its a tough life, I would have been keen to join in on one of those yehaaa trips, lot less hassle.

Going to be On a SI fly fishing mission for 6 weeks,through March/April then a trip back at sea to pay for my TAS.
Oh yeh I edited  the bit about my spin reel jigging. It should have read rod but under RIGHT armpit while canking with left hand, opposite as you stated. You must off been wondering if I had three arms or something.
Have fun.
thanks

Actually guys, I was just noting that since you didn't have a full crew, and hence might not be able to go, I already have several people looking to make up a crew for a trip(s) on Tagit. How giving you another option to think about is a negative I am not too sure. How putting another option for you to get to the Kings on a thread about getting to the Kings becomes a Hijack, I also don't know.
 
And as for My W Turkey's claim that this is all about my personal gain, you don't know me and you also are obviously completely clueless about what it costs to run a charter boat. If I leave Tagit up north for 2 extra months to run two or three charters to the Kings for forum members at under $2000 all inclusive, the real winners are the guys that go fishing. Go and find another quality boat with a top skipper that will give you a trip to the Kings at anywhere near this price. To save you the trouble, here are the current rates for some equivalent boats with quality skippers

striker $3200.oo

wild bill $2800.00

haliquin  $2600.oo

 
I might recover my extra costs and have enough left to shout the skipper and crew a few drinks. Don't make insinuations about other peoples motives unless you really know what you are talking about or you will end up looking like a turkey (ironic that!!).

I am struggling to find where mr Taggit was hijacking the thread?Infact it was Corokid who has "hijacked" Nauti1 thread. This thread was about forming a trip to three kings or joining a trip, I think some people should just pull their heads in..

Fair call Snag.
I suggest we all move on and put it down to differing opinions, what a boring world it would be if we agreed all the time. Smile
 
 
Have a great day on epic, I was jealous for a few seconds until I reminded myself what fishing adventures I have planned for the next three months. Seconds thoughts still a bit jealous.
Cerebro if I win lotto your in.
 
 I still have option on trip, have a few non forum contacts that need to check with the wicked fairies and will get back to me.
 Suggest any genuine interested parties contact me by private message , We can discuss details directly without clutter.
 
WOW just looked out the front window, huge work up in the harbour, got to go.
