NJFishing seabass trip

[MikeinNJ]

anyone have thoughts on the amount of weights ill need? already have 12,14,&16,s. how many 20's you guys recomend?

Start with 24, go heavier if needed.

Bring the 12's , you can always tape 2 of them together. I usually fish tilefish weights, 1 and 2 lb.

With that combination of lead, just pick up some egg sinkers slide one over the leader your set.

Good Luck wish I could make it.

16 to 24 oz. I use a minumum of 16 usually and I fish braid. Don't want to tangle those around you. Looking forward to our trip on the 19 th. Bring plenty of rigs and maybe an extra rod and reel. See ya then.

thanx tropics never thought of using the slide sinkers with the banks, sinker man ill be ordering a few more , mike.
with possible 20 oz dont think my avet and other rod are going to wanna mess with that weight. whats the avg jig for pollock in those possible conditions would it be under 16oz?

you got to be prepared, myself, i would not bring a freaking thing other then myself. trust me, bob will have everything you need and you can buy it on the boat, give him some business on tackle, every bit helps on these trips and all trips. unless you make your own rigs, i would also just buy rigs on the boat, they have the right stuff and they will be fully stocked with more in their stock them probably more then 50 guys combined.

Dont over stock yourself, bring 2 rods, 2 reels, bring clothes, sleeping bag, and your food and yourself.. Thats it! buy the rest on the boat!!! So much easier the lugging around 100lbs of crap that gets used 2 times a year if that!

What Sport said...No sense buying stuff that you may never use again just to let it lay around collecting dust...Most if not all the PB carry what you need for that type of trip...

Just a gentle reminder to all that have not paid up yet to send in your checks ASAP. I will be contacting those who have not paid shortly, but it would be very much appreciated if you could get your checks in to make my job a little easier. Thanks for your understanding. I'd hate to have someone not make it because of a missing check and we couldn't contact you.

We're all out of bunks at this point, but still have 14 spots left on the trip. It's gonna be a great cast of characters, and the offshore reports so far are looking great to catch some tasty seabass. PM me if you'd like to get aboard. I will be at the party on thursday, and feel free to come up to me and say hi.
