Thanks for coming out on the Dream Raiser David,  We do have a couple fighting belts onboard, but usually most anglers just use the ball cushions on the rod butts,  P:robably just needed to ask one of the mates for a belt.  as far as live bait, it is extremly hard to come by, and even difficult to buy live bait as the only ones that sometimes sell it is the people who work as night watchmen on the boats anchored in the bay, usually have to notify them the day before so they will try to catch live bait, and many times they dont catch live bait ,  any way looks like a nice catch, and i will be in costa rica to c heck up on the boat in the next couple days,  Mel Erickson , Owner of the Dream raiser

thanks for coming eric,  enjoyed having you on board,  as for the rockfish,  and ling cod they are in the gulf of Alaska and is a 60 mile run, we offer those trips but only on a private charter boat rate, for $2,400.00.  and the weather has to be perfect with calm seas in the Gulf to get there.
