Offshore adventure scores Mahi

Decent 30# outfits like you would use for bluefish, stripers, and bottom fishing will handle most of what is there. We're talking schoolie bluefins to maybe 50#s. Spool up with 50 # spectra for extra capacity. Will you get spooled by a 100# bluefin?...IF YOU ARE LUCKY!!!!
You can pick up a PENN 6/0 and a standup rod combo pretty cheap. 60# mono...Caught a lot of big yellowfins on that setup. Then you'll have a reason to take a canyon trip on a head boat!

the tred barta way ! good for you! i know your fuel consumption was less then anyone out their. as far as safety. well another person on board . you tend to think about these matters when your my vintage. oh by the way i launch out of belmar so i might see you fishing one day. just look for the aluminum hardtop and a i/o powered v-20

That's awsome Skunk. Lots of people at my marina have been comming in with tuna and mahi. I also am tempted to go out there with my V. But I would rather go with someone who knows what they are doing. If you ever need someone else to go with you just let me know.

Keep watch on the tropics guys.......for storms that can produce heavy swells offshore regardless of the wind.

Hum....thinking about this....... how about 1 V boat tows two more out.

Then we have two V's with full fuel tanks out there.

Never mind.
