Re: OffShore SeaBass Question
 

how about snags? do you lose many rigs? i have never gone either but am considering it. thanks for your info

Re: OffShore SeaBass Question
 

Sometimes dont loose a single sinker.. other times you loose a few.. Its bottom fishing you know.. so snags come with the territory..

you should go.. You will have a great time! Its been drop and reel fishing!!

I'm heading off tomorrow night on the Voyager for my first time wreck trip and I can't wait! Was blown out on the Gambler last week and the anticipation has been building.

I'm bringing 2 setups- one a 7' Seeker that I used for trolling bunker spoons on wire line topped with an Avet Pro EXW dual speed. Second setup is a 6'6" Seeker Blue Lightening 20-30 lb topped with a Penn Senator 113H. Both reels loaded with 65lb Power Pro followed by 50 lb mono top shot.

I've tied up 15 high low rigs out of 40 lb Andes clear line and dressed them with 6/0 Gami Baitholders. Also poured a dosen each of 12 and 18 oz banks and bringing along a couple of gold and silver diamond jigs to give that a whirl as well. Counting the minutes :) !!!!!!!

keep it simple.. basic codfish setup is good. probably want braid on the spool. rigging wise the more bells and whistles on the terminal end the easier it is to get hung up in the wreck or attract dogfish. looks like the fishing is stupid good ! have fun!

Re: OffShore SeaBass Question
 

I'll be on that trip as well. Hope we get to go!!!
