Update on this charter:
The response by potential sponsors of this trip has been fantastic and I have many more to contact. We should have a ton of give aways, the majority of which will be able to be used on this trip, as well as the potential for previously unseen, on this continent, products developed and or used around the world. I have also arranged to have at least one or two skiffs aboard and am looking for Salt Water Fly fishermen to participate in the filming. Here is a chance for fly fishing world records to be broken and be filmed in the process.
This trip is filling up fast but checks are comming in slow so for those of you who have expressed interest and for those of you who are just now reading about it please contact me as soon as possible. The slots for choices of staterooms and tackle spots are first come first serve regarding the deposits. As of now some of the best spots are still available until those checks arrive.
This is really a chance to be part of something special.

I just got off the phone with Carol from the Intrepid. We have nailed down the cost and dates for a charter that will specialize in Jigs, Poppers and other artificial baits. This will be an 8 day with 25 passengers aboard the brand new luxury sportfisher Intrepid. Each day we will set aside some hours to fish artificials only until we have enough filmed footage for a "How To fish Artificial" CD. The intent is to hand these out to all the tackle shops, manufacturers and boats who want them for teaching tools. This is a film that is being made "NOT for profit". Of course each angler participating will also get a copy sent to them once the editing and sound track is in place. Each angler will have to sign a release allowing us to use the photos and footage as described above. The rest of the time the anglers will be free to use baits of their choice as we will have 600 scoops of bait for chumming and fishing.
We hope to have jig and artificial bait experts from all over the world exchanging technical information and perhaps comming up with new ideas in the realm of non live bait action. The targeted species will be Yellowfin, Wahoo, Yellowtail, Dorado, Grouper, Reds, etc.
The Intrepid is 111 feet long and will be limited to 25 passengers.
The cost of this trip will be $2575.00 per person with a 50% deposit required to assure you a spot. The price is all inclusive except for beer and tips. NO HIDDEN FEES. I have received interest from all over the world so you need to jump on this fast if you are interested.
Please send me a IM to let me know of your interest.
As usual priorities on tackle locations and staterooms will be based on receipt of deposits, This is a chance to be part of something very special.
