Alright Gents, I'm going fishing next month.

So my uncle goes deep sea fishing every couple of years and this year I'm joining him. A little last minute, seeing as how it's just in a few weeks.

I'm getting my Pelican 1400 case, I'm throwing a few Bovedas in there and I'm loading it up with good sticks. I'm gonna throw plenty of average sticks to share and plenty for me. (8 days at sea)

What would you bring?

If it's something not quickly or easily acquired let me know how much it'll be to help you part with it.

8 days out? Thats a long trip.

And take mid range stuff and nothing higher, the wind will be brutal on the cigars.

Have a great trip, 8 days at sea is a long time, hope you have great weather.
May want to be careful the first couple of days until you find out how the ride and a cigar will affect your stomach.

I've smoked many cigars on ship. Takes a lot more than waves to kick my stomach.

I'm really just curious for suggestions, I want to try new stuff. But now I want to be cautious because I didn't take the wind into account.

This. I never take anything I wouldn't mind pitching at anytime offshore. However, with a boat that size, is there anywhere you can smoke inside or sheltered from the wind? If so, game on.

That's what I was thinking. I checked with my Uncle who's done this trip a few times before and he claims that when they're anchored the wind eases but generally on the deck behind the hull it's fair smoking game.

Yep, turned out I really couldn't smoke too well out there. Don't get me wrong, I definitely got one in a night but I wouldn't dare take the good ones out.

On a separate note, if any of you have contemplated a long offshore fishing trip, do it.

Even better, came back with 400lbs (190 after processing) of great fish.

Love it. Unfortunately Waters were very cold for June, most of the time in the 60's. So the bigger guys were further south. S'Okay, the Yellowtail in that pic was in the 20's and many of the ones I got were bigger than him.

In other words... Don't be jealous

I guarantee I'm jealous! Looks and sounds like a great way to spend 8 days of your life.
