29 Spots Left Folks. Let's Get Em.

[Ryan W]

Actually only got 27 spots left! Still plenty of room for you and all of your guests! PM me if you've got any questions or to sign up- I'll get back to you ASAP.

Edit: 20 spots left at this point, only 5 bunks.

This will be a good trip. Just need to pray for weather. Fresh bait, lots of room and a fast smooth ride to the offshore wrecks.

A few tips:
Jig master to 4/0 size reel --preferably spooled with 40 to 60lb braid
A short length of broom handle or something to break off braid if (when) it gets stuck in the wreck.
6.5 or longer 30 to 40lb class rod
If you have an extra rod and reel, bring it and stow it in our overhead holders.
12 and 16 oz sinkers
Simple 2/0 or 3/0 size sea bass rigs --2 hooks are enough (I will have rigs and sinkers on board if needed.) Best to have extras ready to go nearby.
A good pair of needle nose pliers with cutter
A rag for your hands
Personally, I don't like to wear thick gloves. A cheap pair of brown cotton gloves, even if they get damp, will keep your hands warm. They are easy to take off and you can throw them away at the end of the day.
The galley will be open for fresh hot food and beverages or you can bring your own. There is a microwave on our counter for anyone who wants to heat up their food.
Bring a sleeping bag and a bed roll if you have it.
Dress in layers and wear boots,

This will be a good trip with good company

Thanks for the tips capt. I was going to put up something, but you beat me to it .

I personally don't use the broom handle for my braid. I just point the rod tip to the bottom and reel until the line gets tight and pull upwards to bust out- no stretch capabilities of the braid take the snag right out. A broom handle could work well though.

Feel free to PM me for help.

Bring rigs for seabass and porgies. Offshore porgies are behemoth too. I have done several of these trips before and they are awesome. We will get em.

We should have a great trip with a LOT of meat- feel free to bring plenty of tackle and setups- there is plenty of room aboard the gambler for all of our stuff.

There are only 20 spots left, but only 5 bunks left. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to get aboard.

Well, after seeing CaptTB's post, I think it might be advantageous to get aboard the trips this year, as we might not even have a season next year (or 2 fish ). Should be great fishing, but who knows if we'll even be able to do these trips again? PM me to sign up.
