Hurricane Bank charter for jigging/popping

As some members might know, I am planning to charter a boat to fish Hurricane Bank for 10 - 14 days exclusively for jigging and popping.
Hurricane Bank is located about 1,100 miles off San Dieog and about 400 miles off Cabo San Lucas. It is an underwater valcano and is fomous for abundance of yellowfin tuna in 100 lbs - 300 lbs as well as wahoo.

To arrange a trip such a long trip which requires 4 day travel to get there out of San Dieg is not easy and is very risky while requiring lots of preparation and luck.

But I decided to go ahead as it is a kind of life time experience and it is an ultimate trip for jigging and popping fishermen.

I'll post about the development of the charter.
The best period to fish there is from Nov to January and I am contacting several boats now to fish in those periods.

Wow I wish I owned the video rights to filming this rodeo, and could get a free ride.

I got an offer from one of the best and new long range boats in San Diego. The deal is super as it cost abour $3,280 incuding everything except tips based on 26 fishermen for 13 days. The nomal cost for the trip is close to $4000.
However they trip is in April and I prefer to fish Nov, Dec and Jan.
Based on the offer, I think I can get a deal around $3000 or less excluding tip for 12 days from other boats.

I am contacting a boat which can sail out of Cabo San Lucas in Nov/Dec in 2010. If I can get the boat, it shorten traveling time tremendously.
I am thinking about all inclusive trip except hard liquors from airport transportation, tips, foods, drinks, ect.

kil - nice seeing you today and finally seeing your shop . its a great place where thousands of dollars can be spent in a very short amount of time!

the trip you told us about sounds awesome, and after seeing Basil's pictures looks even more tempting. this would definitely be a 'must do' trip that should be on every offshore fishermans list.

Wahoodad's Hurricane Bank trip on the Intrepid last year.
They stayed Hurrincane Bank two days and fished inshore.
