It is often cooler on the water. Always be prepared to dress warmer and dress comfortably too!  Best to leave your good nice white sneakers behind.  Better to wear an old pair.

A Smile On Your Face!

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 to 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 dont 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 dont go too heavy.

Hooks: size 3 virginia or comparable.
