JT - they don't touch a rod when I am fishing, and
catching a blue marlin takes a whole crew - hooking
them is a "mute" point . It is like diving - the
same guys consistently catch because their attention
to detail in the whole rig, their condition , and
their mindset.

  Some of them will charter for dives, some will not
.. When you do use them , you do not fuck them over
by dragging bullshit and idiots on the boat, or
treating the boat like a barge. It is real easy to
do, JT, I do it all the time . I never saw a shit
boat until I went on a dive boat.
