Does anyone have any recommendations on a specific fishing outfit? I want to try this during our honeymoon stay on St. Croix. If so, what are their rates? FYI: It will be during the off season (End of August into September). Thanks!

If we get a few people together I'd like to go. Just can't justify it on my own.

Let me know.

We'll definetly look him up when we get there. Are those prices for a couple or individually? Or is that just to rent the boat, equipment, and services? We'll be down there the end of August for two weeks so we'll have plenty of time to fit it in, if the weather cooperates. Which it will, only because I'll be on my honeymoon.

jkayeh-

that includes everything - boat, equipment and services. usually what chris does is that he captains and then he has a guy (stuart) help with the lines. they've had some decent luck. the last time they went out a 500+ pound marlin bit the line. they were fighting it for a few minutes, but then had to cut the line because the marlin was taking to much out. this is a rare occasion, but it goes to show that it can happen. like i said before, let him know i sent you. he'll hook you up.
