Great choice in boats and the weather should be good. They are the longest running charter business in the sound. You will be jigging for the most part. Diamond jigs are the go to lure this time of year but any shiny metal lure 3-5" length will work. You will be dropping the jigs to the bottom and reeling them up so conventional or bait casting reels in the 20-30 lbs. class are the way to go. Leave the spinning gear home. For rods bring a minimum 6-1/2' long boat rod. If you don't fish often you can rent gear and buy tackle from the boat. The gear you rent may be a bit beat up but it will work. Above all listen to the mates, they will tell you what you need to do. I'll be out there all day Sunday but I'll be anchored up in the rocks targeting sea bass. Good luck and have fun.

I have some saltwater reels and rods you are always welcome to use them. PENN spinning reels for SW, the would need fresh line, line on them is quite old, have to look at the model but are on the serious side....

Cgrut,I can attest that these rods and reels are in new condition as they have never caught a fish! Whatever you do,NEVER fish next to Sailor Jerry on a charter boat! If you do,guard your beer and bluefish with your life!

Sure was a beautiful day not many fish around. I spent all day and burned about $100 of diesel and got skunked. When I got back to the slip there were snappers jumping all around the dock. Filled a bucket of them and they are about to go on the grill now. Any day on the water is a good day.
