I have always had the impression that, "charter boat", "middle grounds" and "cheap", were not words that appeared in the same sentence.

As wevans said, getting out these distances can be done in smaller boats, but you have to be able to get back in again quickly, if the weather turns.

There's a couple of guys on the FS Bigbend that go a few times a year....Think they have gone solo (one boat) too....Too far for me (skeered) with one boat unless it's over 40'...

I was actually considering going on a 34 hour overnite trip out of hubbards marine{ http://www.hubbardsmarina.com/events.htm } party boat like atmosphere but with more fishing type people onboard. was wondering if any one has tried a trip like this ? thanks again

That looks like a lot of fun bb. But I am afraid I would get fat! Look at the menu:

Meal ticket is available for only $25.00 and includes unlimited soft drinks, candy, chips,coffee for the entire trip.

On the other hand, maybe 36 hours of that would cure me of my chip thing.
