thanks

 

looking forward to hearing from you

 

Enchanter has one slot available (sort off)

1st to 4th june- 4 days

Price is $2600 per day

Max 8 people but preferbly 6 for these trips ( 6 good for me but decromasy rules)

For 6  cost is @ $1734 for trip

For 8   cost is $1300

Additional costs are;

$35 for bait and tackle per person/day

$50 for food catered.

I assume we will have own bait tackle so no charge.

Need to check If option to organise own food ok.

 

Normally this is 5 day trip , with 4 day trip skipper will try and leave night before, travel through the night to maximise fishing time.

Deposit of $2000 required to secure.

 

Now the catch is they just need to confirm with Shimano guys in Japan who expressed interest in this spot so will get back to me soon. Thought I would post this anyway as probably take a while to confirm our lot.

 If all else fails testing my new popper rod somewhere warm may just have to do.

 

You on the air Naut1

 

 

 

 

Just thought to put all options up

 

Still no word about availibilty yet, but may pay to act quick if avail so hands up will be good.

 

 I see yehaaa are hosting two trips earlier dates if more suitable for some, no good for me unfortunately ,going to be down south livebaiting mice for giant trout.

 

Cheers

 

 

1st to 4th june

Depart the night before the 1st

$2600 /day plus 50 each for food

 

Penciled in for now, but dont know for how long.

Now this is a first for me, dont really know anyone into jigging in a serious way to spend this sort of money so probably wont undertake this unless I get the numbers from you guys or girls even better.

So need a few hands up or will let it go.

 

Thanks DAVE

In if it's a go.

To be fair its first up first in basis

 If I get confirmation from source outside these forums I will post them on updated list. We  will stop at six, then its up to first six about final numbers, I personally will vote 6 maybe 7, majority rules.

 

 So list is;

Corokid

Des flurane

 

Just an update from Michelle at Enchanter Charters

Daily catered food rate is now $55 per person due to caterer price increase

But if we take own food, deckies will cook it for us, cheaper option and can still relax on trip but have to organise food first, up for decision.

 

Cheers

 

 

I could supply kingfish and hapuka steaks

 

Thats what I was thinking, the savings pays for beer and rum as getting chilly by then.

Once we get our group we can sort this, appreciate your advice.

Shall I put your name down, Im gunna get my ass kicked anyway.

Gunna have to get Heavy Metal DVD on when  home wednesday

 

Hopefully get out for practise towards end of week around channel island area when weather settles.

 

cheers

 

 

 

 What does pm mean?

 

Been on Enchanter a few times and Lance is a great skipp.

No Samoa for me this year!.

 

Deposit? when? where? who?

 

Pure jigging?

 

 

Deposit is $2000 , divide that by number of people and we can pay to Enchanter acc when I get there details. But first we need the numbers .

 

Edit.

Just got email from Enchanter peaople, suggest I take care of deposit to simplify things.

So I will forward bank details to all parties if required. So we will make it $500 per person to secure your spot, I will forward total to Enchanter and ask them to email all parties to confirm payment recieved.

So if interested please supply contact details with a private message.

Also Im am heading to South Island in about two weeks time, will be gone for 6weeks, internet access will be limited and low on priority so would like to get this all organised with deposit paid beforehand.

Thanks

 

 

 

 

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

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!!).

Marine Surveyor

Certified Marine Safety Auditior

Commercial Skipper ILM

Restricted Radar Operator

Charter boats owned 2, one in the oven.

Employed on several others.

Intergrated rating cert,

Proficiency In Survival Craft cert.

Advanced Marine Firefighting cert

Too much more to list

 

Just in case  Mr tagit was refering to me in the above post.

My quals and experience obviously earn my income first and foremost, but also enjoy passing info on in teaching and training trainees we have come through our company, undermining others ideas ,opinions and lack of experience dont come into  it.

 

 

Just an update on 3kings trip

Des Flurane has contacted me by prvate message and pulled out ?

I have a couple maybe 3 leads to get back to me but apart from that shes all over rover.

 

going

 

 

 

 

 

 

 too much time on the keypad results in less time on the water.............................

 on that thought i'm going on epic next week....... jelouse much.....

 

bye for now

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.

 

 

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.
