West Coast Long-Range

To All Valued Viking Fleet Friends:

Below is our upcoming schedule. We’ve added an extra 44 Hour Middle Grounds trip in July and an additional 24 Hour trip in August to do some more American Red Snapper fishing before the season closes. Also new to the summer schedule this year are a few Sunset Fishing trips ($55) and exciting Catch/Release Shark trips ($75). We’d love to have you and your family aboard the Gulfstar with us on the 4th of July too. For the 3rd year in a row, we’ll take a nice ride into the Gulf to hang out and watch the fireworks displays up and down the beaches. As usual reservations are required, so give us a call at 727-938-5300.

Also included at the bottom are some photos from the 60 Hour Iron Man trip. The Gulfstar left last Monday and returned Thursday afternoon from another fantastic deepwater trip. A huge variety of species were seen; Queen Snapper, Kitty Mitchell, Scamp, Yellow Edge Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Yellow Tail Snapper, Mahi, Gag Grouper, American Red Snapper, Porgies and more.

Do you have any photos taken aboard the Gulfstar? If you’ve taken any pictures during your trips on the Gulfstar, we’d love for you to forward them to us. We have started a “Gulfstar Ventures Fan Page” on www.Facebook.com. Lisa has posted some of our pictures there, but would like to start a photo album that contains only YOUR pictures. Send us pics from Half Days, 14 Hour, 18 Hour, 24 Hour, 44 Hour, and 4 Day. Maybe we’ll have a photo contest…who knows? Email them to vikingfleet@hotmail.com. If you’re already on Facebook, join the fan page!

So that’s the fun stuff…here comes the business. We are being forced to change our policy regarding reservations and payment. In the past, we have required a credit card to hold your reservation; however we did not process the payment right away and on some trips no payment was required until the time of check in. Effective immediately, all trips scheduled after September 1, 2009 must be paid in full at the time of your reservation. Please call Lisa if you have any questions.

Give us a call in the office 727.938.5300 or book online. Reservations are required on all trips.
