You don't need to go that far...just come down to Cape Hatteras. Load up on all that stuff plus some 50 lb yellowfins or 100 - 200 lb bigeyes.

well, I COULD target them here but I'd have to go to the Hudson Canyon 80-100 miles, and that's crazy!

With perfect weather forecast...Could probably trailer 90 miles down to Cape May NJ and get to the near edge of Wilmington canyon. Or go to OC MD and reach Baltimore canyon....hmmmm.

This is a sickness!

But my brother has a 29 Aquasport in a Pompano Bch and its a $200 airfare to catch swords and wahoo and such.

Ok, I say go the $200 route.
I'm faced with similar obstacles where I fish in SC. 30+ miles to bottom fish, 40 - 60 miles for grouper, snapper, wahoo, dolphin, billfish etc. except we do see sails in close sometimes. And the grouper, snappers, bsb move in closer in the colder weather - just as they're closing the season on them......

We go to Hatteras once per year. Weather is always hit or miss but we make it out a day or two. Nice to only have to run 20 miles to be in the gulfstream.

In Pompano you catch everything inside of 5 miles except swords. Them you have to go 15-20. If I had a V20 in Pompano, you would be seeing pix of swords, day & night. Hell, I could reach the Bahamas!

Kayak & a Mako? That's a scary thought!

Yeah, them S. FLA boys don't know how good they got it. Catching dolphin and still see people walking on the beach.

Nice Mako!

Did Captain Ahab give you that gaff?
