Deep Dropping

[jkapl001]

I am looking to go out on a deep dropping charter. Have never been passed the triangles catching sea bass. I really want to catch some grouper and tiles. Would like to go out on a boat that is plenty big but not with 150 of my closest friends. As it stands now I have 3 or 4 guys that want to go. Any suggestions would help greatly. Thanks for the help. Also what is the best time to go?

Look at the top of this page. We (Jil Carrie) are going out this Thursday, won't you join us ! !:yes:

We have a full boat for Thursday but will be going every day the weather is fit to go. I cut and pasted my response to this from an earlier post.

There are several things you need to know before you make your plans.

1. March is a very windy month. The chances of you picking a date and actually going that day are very slim. The best thing to do is set aside a week or two where you can go one day when the weather is fit.
2. You need to decide if you want to gather your friends and charter a "six pack" (6 anglers max) boat or you want to join a group of other anglers on a walk on or a headboat. Capt. Skip Feller aboard the Rudeee Angler can help you with a headboat. I believe he charges $150.00 per angler plus a tip for the Mates for a 16 hour trip. I think he caps his boat at 40 anglers for deep drop. Hopefully, he will respond here so you can confirm that.
3. You need to decide how much you want to spend - headboats are cheapest, put together and charters are more expensive. The trade off is less anglers and more fishing space - but you pay for that.
4. There are many, many fishing reports on this page that show what each boat is catching, so a bit of time perusing these pages will go a long way towards "educating" you on the fishery here.
5. We do both put togethers and private charters aboard the "Jil Carrie". We charge $220.00 per person plus a tip for the 1st Mate for an 18 hour trip. We take a maximum of 14 anglers and a minimum of 10 anglers. We sail every day the weather is fit. Some trips we target Black sea Bass as a "Plan A" and some trips we don't. Please contact us if we may be of service.

Thanks for the replys, I like the idea of a cap of 14 anglers, however are you out of MD? Is the fishing as good in April? I live much closer to Va Beach.

Thanks

"Jil Carrie"- Capt. Jim Brincefield, is out of Lynnhaven at Long Bay Point Marina.

I have fished with Capn Jim Brincefield on Jil Carrie many times and always enjoyed the day. Not only will you catch fish but you should have a few good laughs as well. For me, cathcing a bunch of fish is only as good as the fun you had doing it. A few words of advice, dress warm in layers and be prepared for any weather, it can all take place out there. Rest well the night before, a deep drop trip is long and physically demanding. Bring plenty to eat and drink, no services on the Jil Carrie. Be prepared to recouperate the next day. I made the first trip with Jim and then worked the next day and I was shot for the next two days! You need a down day to rest up from the journey. Most important of alll....NO BANANAS in any form! It is a long swim back from the Norfolk Canyon.
