Thanks everyone again for your posts and suggestions,
as MGB mentioned, he has volunteered to go along with me and I'm so anxious to go now that I won't be able to sleep tonight again (didn't sleep last night either, thinking about hooking up on a big fish all night...).
At first I was going to take my boat, but as it turns out we'll be going in his and I'm anxious to see a genuine Tiger setup at work!
I'm anxious to see first hand the actual and proper equipment used not only to try and catch one, but more importantly, the equipment and techniques used in handling the fish once caught (If we get lucky) to ensure that the fish safely returns to the water to fight another day. And if we don't get into one, it will still be a good day!
The first time out this summer fishing for tigers, I had purchased a few lures and took my wife along and after about an hour or so of trolling I suddenly realized that if I did happen to catch one, I had absolutely no clue how to handle once it was landed, nor did I even have any of the proper equipment!
I guess it was fortunate that I didn't hook into one that day.
Anyway, I'll post on Monday after the trip.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
