Tackle

Tackle All tackle is included, but if you would like to bring your own, here are a few suggestions: Fluke: Go light!!!

15- 20 lb flourocarbon is highly recommended 1/2 oz to 2 oz bucktails (white is best all around, pink, chartreuse, bunker also work well sometimes) Light spinning rod or bait caster with 10-20lb braid is ideal for bucktailing.

Conventional rod and reel, not too heavy for bait fishing. We usually fish with 2- 4 ounces of lead.

1/0 - 3/0 hooks.

We will be happy to tie up the best rigs for you onboard.

Sunset Special/ Middle Ground Madness Trips: For the Bass and blues you want a medium action rod for diamond jigging capable of handling some big blues or bass. But don’t go too heavy. 40lb mono or braid on your reel. 3/0 high speed 4:1(or more) is best.

For the Porgies and sea bass, we will rig you up with a high low rig. We recommend fishing light as possible. 4-8 ounces of lead is the norm.

Blackfish: Minimum #30 mono but braided line, #30 test minimum is strongly encouraged. (power pro, spider wire etc) A rod that can handle 6-12 ounce sinkers but don’t go too heavy Hooks: size 3 virginia or comparable.
