I am almost surely cancelled out on those days. I work weekends but I have commitments on both of those weekends anyway so a vacation day won't help. I think that I still have 3 weeks of vacation left but those weekends are booked. I know 9-11 is locked up as I usually run my honor guard on a 21 gun salute for the 9-11 memorial.

How far do you run out of Freeport? I except it may be less than out of Galveston and sure closer than Sabine Pass. I know when I fished out of Aransas Pass oh so many years ago, it was a lot shorter run to the deep water. I've never fished out of Freeport.

[bh89-2]

As far as distance out, I normally run between 60 and 90 miles offshore.  It really depends on seas, weather, and what we are trying to catch.  Oh, and how much fuel we have....LOL  That's a pretty important part right there. 

If we don't get takers on these dates we can always pick another.  I take shift workers all the time so i am not apposed at all to buring a day of vacation to run a week-day trip.  Usually fewer boats out there anyway during the week.

Absolutely.  Aks myself, ride 12 hours in a boat with a gloating PNG fan or someone who makes Blue Bell Ice cream.  EASY pick right there.....  ;D ;D ;D 

[tvc184]

But that's assuming he brings 30 gallons of Blue Bell.

I understand tvc,  if Ned. was playing and I was a fan,  I'd probably go fishing too!  Can't blame you there!  ;D

[tvc184]

I will take your thoughts into consideration however I had PNG in mind when I made the statement.  :D

If you're from west orange it's....... Just kidding.  4 people is $200 each and 5 people is $160 each.  We just split the cost fo the trip (all inclusive). Depending on fuel prices, this is what it's been running.
