Perhaps on those boats, "one has someone" to do the nasty work while
one
holds one's cocktail.


That is true, you can have the crew tie it for you. Tip well.

Might as well go to the grocery store and buy the fish, just about as
much fishing involved.


I agree. Whenever I'm someplace where there are fishing charters
available, I try not to get excited about it. Spending several hundred
dollars to bring 4 tuna steaks back to a hotel is ridiculous. I suppose
there's some value to breathing diesel fumes all day, but not to me. :-)
Now, Tom has an interesting guide/charter plan on his web site, but you
don't see that kind of thing often.


The SD long range fllet, both feeds you very well, and you have to catch
the fish. Lately they have been into a lot of 200# plus fish. So you can
take home a lot of steaks.


Depends on where I am. If I've flown somewhere and the hotel room's got no
cooking facilities, I won't even consider a charter. In that situation,
there is no "home" to take the steaks, ya know? Not worth hurting a fish.
