PB Porgy fishing

[Virginiaducks]

Looks like I'll be heading out on Friday night to fish for some porgies. Never been on a party boat porgy trip. Can someone give me advice on rods and reels? What depth water I can expect? How much weight you all fish? Thanks.

I used my medium power fluke set up last time i went. It was a Bogan rod with Avet SXJ reel 20 pound braid. Small hooks on a high low rig. It was fun on the lighter tackle.

Light to medium action conventional or spinning outfit will do. Nothing special needed. High low rig with small hooks. Do not go any bigger then 2/0 As for how much weight you will be using that all depends on how deep Capt will be fishing and what the conditions will be like out there. I am guessing 3-8 oz should cover all your bases. Give Capt a call on boat you will be fishing (sounds like the Fisherman) and they will be able to give you the best advice

If going on the fisherman, no braid allowed during the nite trips!

Thanks for the advice. Yes, the Fisherman is the plan. Not thrilled about the no braid rule, but I understand....stripped 2 reels today and replaced with mono. Anyone else planning to head out Friday night?
