If you guys are asking for simple suggestions. No need for wind on leaders just put a top shot on. Boat will have spools of mono and I usually carry a spool. Braid I would go 65# or better. I can’t break 65# myself and if it gets in the boat it doesn’t matter it’s gonna cut off. Rods/reels. If you have something you can cast that has a drag system around 20# or more. Rods need to have some backbone for lift.

I have a quality spin reel I’m bringing without a rod if anyone has an xtra rod. It’s a Penn Torque 7 so it has plenty of line and drag. You could easily complicate things or just keep it simple.

I'm just gonna ask Glen and Doug if I can play with their rods.


There ya go, I'm out of the closet.

We still love you anyway. ( Said with my most manliest voice)

I can promise I've seen no Tuna the last 2 days nor the next 2 days! We need 7 big azz crappie 2 days in row. I am looking forward to the ocean perch trip though! I like fishing period. Fun to do new stuff!!

[jhunter77]

On past trips what percentage of yellowfin were caught chunking vs jigging vs casting lures? Thanks

[Gladesgator]

Todd, with ocean perch, the reel isn’t broke just because line is screaming off of it. Lol

[glen]

I been the same with these yellow mouth trout. I’ll get up in morning and go try and trick them but they been in hiding. I also will fish in a puddle for a minnow if that’s what I got

[jnd1959]

Hey. I've fished in a ditch for a minnow. It was an epic battle.
