12 or 15 would be good on that reel. I have no spinning reels without braid. Its way better than mono on spinning reels. (except on a beach in the wind, in the dark) It takes getting used to. Figuring out how much mono backing is a pain. I started spooling the whole reel. Always use a Palomar...

Had some fishing buddies up from Pompano Beach. We fished couple days. Some Sea bass, fluke, dolphin, tilefish and yellowfin tuna. Finally broke the tuna skunk. had to go to the Hudson Canyon to do it Tuna were small but legal and tasty:drool:

hehehe You have enough spinning reels. Unless you want to catch giant BFT off Rockaway with a popper. Then get the biggest one they make:bat: IMO Get a Penn Squall 30 star drag combo with a rod. Perfect for striper/blues/fluke/bottom fishing Lever drag version if you want to be fancy. lever...

cut the top skin and peel it off. try to keep it intact as much as possible and yuo might be able to reuse it Don't cut thru the inside skin. Don't cut the hatch. Leave a 3" tab of top skin all the way around to tab to later. DON"T wrap over the edge...That will be a fairing nightmare You'll...

Ran out in flat calm after 1 pm today. Hit the lobster pots again, mostly trolling but we chunked a few off of two pots.

We were pot hopping for dolphin at the Mud Hole lobster pots on Friday. Mud Hole pots are well within range of V20s. I used to fish them in mine. they start at the Shark River reef and run southeast for 20 miles and then you reach the Glory pots that run another 20 miles east. The pots run along...

3 seabass out at manasquan ridge and 4 nice fluke and some ling at Axel Reef. Easy day. nice...

years ago I used a CD case. It had sleaves that fit a coiled rig. it was fake leather and had a zipper. I still have it somewhere. I used that when going on a party boat or someone elses boat. I pretty much just make new rigs on the fly when fishing now. #50 leader , two dropper loops and a...

They are all RINOs. The Republican Party does not exist anymore. At least she is not a Fascist, so she's got that going for her.:laugh:

All "Top Tier"(Exxon/Chevron/Shell/Sunoco/BP...) gasoline already has detergents. They are the same chemicals as Ring Free and Techron. Google "Top tier gasoline" for an explanation They generally don't have the additive for long term storage that prevents phase separation of alcohol from...

I stopped adding the bug juice. I use a Valvetect gas dock so its already in there. I can hold 250 gal and it doesn't last a month...sometimes just two trips... I'm sure someone is going to insist you should use Yamaha Koolaid in every tank. If you use Exxon or Chevron or any other major...

That was Phatdaddy not me. I gave up on crabs. Too much work. Gotta be really drunk. I do buy a fried softshell crab sandwich at the Patio Bar whenever they have them:pray:

You'd have been better off with one 12" vs two 7". You can split screen and do whatever but still get a big screen when you need it to see. Reading a radar on a 7" screen is gonna be something... Nobody has done two in that dash. Search Tags for "dash". Looking back at my old dash you MIGHT...

:nice:

There are bluefin and yellowfin tuna showing up in the area of the Mud Hole called "Little Italy" or Humpty Dumpty. This is 16 miles east of Manasquan Inlet and easily in range for V20s. There are 90 ft humps surrounded by 120+.. There are very big schools of cow-nosed rays and the tuna have...

They can be fun when you are tired of catching nothing. Just be aware, to "target" sharks, even if you are releasing them- You are required to have a HMS permit with Shark endorsement you are required to use circle hooks Dusky sharks and any other "ridgeback" sharks are protected, great...

Well, conditions were certainly not what was forecast but it was fishable. Atlantic Princess area had lots of whales, dolphins and bait...and bluefish. Nobody Caught Tuna. Chicken canyon pots no life. GH pots no life. Guys at Bacardi/TexasTower did the same. Finished the day on a wreck in...

I know Giorgio is waiting on updates so... We got out fluking at the Axel Carlson reef a couple times over the 4th weekend. Got three keepers one day and 4 keepers another. Nothing worth taking a picture but they were delicious. The bluefin and yellowfin bite has finally started at the...

IMHO Even assuming you don't fish, Generally the low end sale items don't have the best maps and even the best maps are no substitute for sonar. If you only go to the same places then sure, follow your trail and you won't run aground ...unless the sand moved. If you fish but not often, you...

Yes i had the nauticus with the clip to hold them up....so much for "automatic" You gotta remember to clip them up when docking and unclip them when running. I left them up the last half of that season. I know a lot of guys here swear by their tabs but I ran my cuddy 18 years (except one with...
