What's a good spinning setup for Vermillion snappers offshore?

Hi all,

I’m going on a tuna charter in a week or so. I’m looking for some recommendations on what to wear for an east coast late fall trip out on the water.

Any suggestions?

I need some gear for good stripper and tuna fishing, especially yellowfin and bluefin tuna, as well as other gear for heavy seabass and other bigger ocean fish in general. Also lures and gigs. Anything will help, I fish out of jersey on LBI.

so i mostly do shore casting/jigging, i have a 9 feet 6 inches shimano dialuna max 45 grams (not really planning to use any heavier jigs), can i use it for offshore vertical jigging? since a family friend has boat and we would be going on it soon

trargetting aggresive fish, like spanish mackarel, amberjack, barracuda and those kinds of fish

dont have the budget for a new rod and reel set up especially for a like single trip

Hey guys, I am building a website for my uncle's new fishing lodge in Brazil: www.nervousmarlin.com

He is just starting this new business and I want to help him get his first customers. I want to make a beautiful website for him and would love to get your feedback on it.

I am discovering the world of marlin fishing as I build this, so maybe I am missing important info that anglers are looking for.

Would love it if you could take 2 minutes to give me some feedback!

Thanks!

Who makes the best kill bags? Looking to upgrade. Need a good bag for yellowtail & bluefin on the west coast.

Bisbee's billfish and gamefish tournaments in Cabo San Lucas are coming up in October:

Bisbee's Los Cabos Offshore, Oct 14-19

Bisbee's Black & Blue, Oct 21-26

If you're interested in competing, there's a 35' Blackfin Combi available for either charter or as contribution to a team. That is, you can charter the boat and crew for your team or you can add the boat's owner to your team and he will contribute use of the boat and crew.

See the CaboCuranderoCharters website for more information.

Hey all got this skipjack off Fiji this morning! Keen to hear what you think! Never caught one before!

I found out Allegiant has round trip tickets to Key west for less than $100. Only problem is housing.

I'm considering a trip to the keys this winter - anyone know what is biting in the winter?

That, I guess I can find online. What I really want to know is if you can recommend any good offshore charters - preferably for sportfishing: Wahoo, Mahi, Tuna, maybe grouper.

Also, I know I can bring back frozen fish on the plan - done it before - but has anyone shipped frozen fish back if they caught a lot? I can always get a bigger carry on for the trip home!

Wondering if anyone can provide sources for leading tuna brands on the east coast of united states? Where are they caught, what species, etc. Any and all info is appreciated.

Also, if anyone can detail differences in canning methods and what parts are involved in said product, aka solid white albacore, chunk light, whether it be in water or oil.

If you think there's a subreddit that's better suited to answer my questions I'd be happy if you could entertain me with proper direction.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

My friends and I are thinking of taking an offshore trip to target yellowfin (and Mahi, Wahoo, etc), and want to leave from Hatteras, Oregon Inlet, or somewhere around there.

Does anyone have a captain you have used and would recommend? Also, what's the best time of year?

Hello - headed out for a family trip in a week to Sea Isle City. Last minute had an idea to go fishing. Any recommendations? Not sure what is worth going after late August. Appreciate any recommendations!

Got a couple Texas swords this summer. One real nice one. Went 2/2 pre hurricane and went 2/5 last weekend with one released. Solid summer so far

Hi! We are going to Huatulco, MX in Feb. I’d like to surprise my hubby with a charter to hopefully catch some fish. Do you have any suggestions on where to look for legit charters? We’ve done it thru the hotel in Cabo and the DR, but I’d like to make it kind of special for his 50th bday! Thanks so much!

I’m trying to decide between a few different entry level boats and I’m curious if anyone here would like to share first hand experience. This will be my first offshore boat, a big upgrade from the 17’ hulls I’m used to.

Key West 244 cc (2018) I like this one, especially how light it is but I’m not a big fan of the bilge access and how the aft seat has to be removed just to check on your bilge

Tidewater 253 cc (2020) This is my favorite of the 3, i like the storage and large cockpit, but I’m concerned I’m at the limit of what my truck can tow ( rated for 7200)

Clearwater 2300 (2020) I like the layout but the bilge access is even worse than the key west.

I understand none of these are top of the line boats, unfortunately that’s just not in the budget.. but i want something i can safely rely on to get to the Bahamas and back. This will primarily be a fishing boat and i would like something that can handle itself in a little bit of chop. Any first hand experience/criticism/praise for would be much appreciated.

Hi all, looking to get a setup for my 21 Parker but something i could potentially upgrade from. I have a 5 conceivable rod slots, 2 side trackers, to low lines and a green a center rod. Whats a good mid level combo? I’m thinking 30 international or 50 squall. I’d like to stay under 600 a combo lined.

My life goal is to chase world record size sportfish (tuna, marlin, wahoo etc.).

I know a 20ft boat wont get me there safely unless the conditions are all aligned. Yes, my life is worth more than a fish. I caught one tuna a few years back, and haven't stepped foot on a boat since (I lost the connection to the captain).

I will get back out on the open water in the future, but while writing up the 10YP i need specifics. Ideally i would run out of new jersey, since these are the only waters i read about.

What would be the minimum size engine to get me started?

How do I begin with planning a trip? I would be leaving out of Oregon inlet NC in a 24 ft cobia with a single 300. How do I find spots to drop lines (I have charts and sonar) and what do I use to catch ANYTHING. Is it live bait free running? or trolling? or jigging? Please help and support by telling me what baits I need as I am already equipped with suitable rods and reels. I appreciate any comments in advance. Thanks
