  Do you mean the 39 hour trip on the 31st? If so, then yes. There are 36 people going as of 5 minutes ago.

  One question- are you allowed to bring you own live baits (i.e. Threadfins) on board as well as the provided pinfish?

  Paddle faster, I hear banjo music.

  You can, but the wells are very small and don't keep threads alive very well. You can not bring your own wells onboard.

  Alright. Is it worth it to buy a few for bonus pelagics on the surface, or do the pins do well enough?

  The pins are good. Most of the BFTs I have seen caught are on small pins or whole dead sardines floated back. But if you don't have a favorable current for your spot, fishing for pelagics next to impossible unlesss you are sight casting. What spots are you guys in?

  On a fullmoon trip right after a storm boat sardines and a few dozen pinfish should be all you will need. I have tried threadfins on several trips and never had any luck with them. If you want to bring something different try scaled sardines. They will stay alive if you don't mix them in the livewell with pins. And they will get bit. Also you can catch beeliners when you are out there. I will be on this trip and I think with the fullmoon and possible dirty water from the storm, boat sardines are probable going to catch the most fish. For the last few trips it has been hard to get livebait past the aj's. Knowing that I still won't go out there without as many pins as my livewell will hold. You never know. It sucks to be without live bait when that's what they are biting. You might want to catch some fresh pins in addition to the ones you buy At the dock. The big aj's have been eating big fresh baits. Good luck
  Joe

  Just a heads up for you, pay attention on this trip and you will learn from a lot of knowledgeable fishermen.

  THERE SHOULD BE NO COMMERCIAL FISHING ALLOWED FOR ANY SPECIES THAT IS CONSIDERED OVERFISHED.
