Default Re: Few questions about offshore sea bass..

1. Boats will be fishing 180-240'
2. Generally you want gear at least in the 40 lb class, depends on how heavy your ling gear is...
3. It depends on what boat you are on and how big the crowd is, certain boats everyone gets a bunk, certain boats it is every man for themselves.
4. 12-20 oz depending on the current, but consider 16 oz your standard and your tackle needs to be able to handle 20 if needed.
5. The only extra bait you might want is small whole squids, or if you can get FRESH clams.
6. Porgies are good eating at any size, I actually prefer the bigger ones
7. Depends on the boat and the day...most boats try to call 6 hours or better, but weather changes hourly this time of year...you might make the drive, or atleast part of it, for nothing.

Hope this helps
