Good evening all

Me and my son (17) will be joining.  This is our first long range.  We fish regularly here in Centrla Florida and The Keys.  But this is going to be all new (and fumbling:) 😂🤦🏽 )for us.  Looking forward.

Indeed, I am looking forward to it.  Alan has already answered so many question and has been very patient with me lol.

Thank you
I'll list our gear soon, and see what you all suggest.

Thanks

[gone2fish]

Ok,

deposit has been sent out. Alan has given me advice on some reels.  Rods, my friend is a professional rod builder and notified me of the insult to him if I used something else....so he is building them .....    

so what tackle - hooks, weights, swivels, jigs / lures should I bring...?  I assume spools of every weight class of Flouro leader from 20 - 60 and then jump 80, 100, 130#?

Thank you

For starters,
A few each 4-16 ounce torpedo sinkers

"C" hooks 4,2, 2/0 and 4/0
