Tangled Spool, big thanks my friend for that great advice!
i still dont' get it.... are we casting wooden plugs from the party boat? :S. How deep are these tuna LOL... *confused*
On anther topic..I just had a look at my suitcases... and my 2 piece 7 foot bass rod won't fit in any of them! We're only taking 2 suitcases so we have 2 extra pieces of bagge.
Air Canada:
When packed separately, each of the following counts as one piece of baggage towards the maximum number of checked bags allowed by your fare type:
fishing rod in rod case + tackle box
tackle bag + reels
landing net
boots
Waivers / Charges
Fishing rod in rod case:
No oversize or additional piece charges apply to a fishing rod in its case if it is carried with a tackle box.
All other additional checked baggage rules apply.
Packing instructions
The fishing rod(s) must be packaged in a rigid and/or hard shell container specifically designed for shipping.
Hmm..... what about a PVC pipe... I doubt that would count! ... and there's no number to call!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL
Hey MichaelAngelo,
sorry I forgot to mention...everything is trolling.... plugs and squid need to be trolled for the tunas and barracudas unless you hit a school, stop the boat and start to cast.
Snappers (big ones) will eventually hit a lure when trolling but I've had more success when deep jigging.
these are the tunas magnet plugs:

And these are the squids (skirts only) - you need to pair them with the sinkers and hooks of your preference:

this one is my favourite; it's really cheap and it comes with everything ready to go:

But, in the rush you are I guess you might wanna go with this tuna/dolphin kit (dolphin=a.k.a mahi mahi):

You can hit 2 birds with a single shot.....I mean 2 fish :grin: :grin: :grin:
Good luck man, oh how I wish I could go there again......
BTW, it sucks with Air Canada and all those regulations but there is no other way I guess....I think you can email the charter guys and ask them if they provide you with a complete set of tackle including lures...could be a bit more expensive but prolly worth the hassle....rod holders are included in the package just in case you ask... :wink:
