Got a Penn Pier 309 on a 6 1/2 foot boat stick...good, bad?

Jiggin? Bait? Teasers?

I am a Cod Googan.

Awfull, errr Great - (I don't know), I keep trying to decide whether to bring my own gear and I keep deciding to user their gear and not worry about it ;)

I use a 4/0 Senator on a heavy 7' boat rod with 50# braid. Braided line is recommended especially if jigging. Andylynn fishes in depths of over 200 ft. You need a rod that can handle jigs and sinkers of around 20 ozs. Mono line is OK if baitfishing with around 40# test minium. Bring your teasers!

I may bring my rod and save the 7 bucks (poor month) but I'll line it up with mono... If it breaks, I guess I'll just have to rent :rolleyes:

OK...I'm renting....7 bucks versus 20 some to spool the thing with braid...

Can someone post a picture of a cod teaser?

OK COD TEASERS CAN BE ANYTHING FROM A PLASTIC GRUBTAIL TO A FLY. THE BEST SEEM TO BE PLASTIC SHRIMP TAILS. DONT WORY IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY BECAUSE IM GIVING ERERYONE WHO GOES 5 EACH. I HAVE HUNDREDS OF THEM ALL DIFF COLORS. . I ALSO RECOMEND IF YOUR BRINGING YOUR OWN GEAR JIGS FROM 16 TO 32OZ IF ITS WINDY YOULL NEED THE 32OZ TO HOLD BOTTOM ALSO FOR BAIT FISHING 10 TO 20 OZ SINKERS IM SURE IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM DON CSN PROBLY GET THEM FOR YOU . BUT DONT WAIT TILL FRIDAY TO CALL HIM.

I should have a good supply of homemade pipe jigs. They are about 25 ozs.+ Not sure how much have to talk with my lead guy but around 10$ each.

..I use a Penn Delmar on a 6' Penn Long Beach that I got for a steal when Ann & Hope closed....yeeeeeeeeeh hah!!...

..40# Big Game...two at a time last time I Codded...no problems..17oz. jig w/ teaser....the gear they have is ok...but the sooner you get there, the better your choices...so if your gonna rent.....get there early!!!...and pick the best stick combo..

..tic ....toc ...tic .... toc :cool: .... time is coming to an end :( ...bye bye Stripas' ....

TATOOOOOOO, IF you need a ROD I have a couple of meat sticks. NOT THE GOLDBERG ONE............ J HABS......

How about a 7000C with 40 mono and a fairly stiff boat rod? OK for cod jiggin' and baiting?

John, the 7000 might not give you enough power to reel up a big fish. Better off with a penn 4/0 or a 3/0. Also braid will help you hook up more.

I was afraid of that - thanks Slip... I've seen guys using Calcutta 700 and Penn 975s with braid but I ain't buying a ton of braid for cod fishing, I'll rent... What's the deal with terminal tackle on the boat??

uhhhh - BM - you want this one instead???

john i agree with slipknot. the 7000 may not give you what you need to pull that monster off the bottom. if your going to use your own gear again like slipknot i recomend dacron or spectra i use spectra it works great for jiging no stretch it is a little more then dacron. . if you do use mono again use 40 to50lb test and a 80lb leader, sound heavy but dont forget your fishing recks and ledges thell cut it like butter

hey canalratt1 i would like to get 2 of thos jigs if there at least 25 oz if thats ok with you. i can send you money now if you want or pay you on the 17th. let me know if you have some thanks

err...umm....ok help out an idiot here will ya guys???!!!

OK I get the rent"rod and reel" part.....how about all the other stuff???? will I be able to purchase/rent what I need right on the boat????? or do I have to figure out what the heck I need first and have it before I go (if I weasle my way outta work :eek: that is...)

and...I think someone else might have already asked but I didnt see a answer....do we need to send payment up front ???? or is that day OK?????

TATTOO, GOT A ROD FOR YA TO USE IT IS HIGH END AND MADE ME THOUSANDS O BUCKS OF THE ISLANDS WHEN I WAS A PIG.
YOU CAN BRING UP A TRUCK LOAD O COD ,Show ya this week end. and got to buy some cod jigs and get the rigs made up, aah can do that on boat.
SURE JOHN IM A 8 BALL DID YOU KNOW THAT?:p

..Jenn, I haven't been on the Andy Lynn before but most of the other boats that I've been on sold Hooks/sinkers...not many had jigs....actually only one! ( out of Revere ) ..so if your renting, you may want to bring a jig or purchase one from CanalRat...but let him know in advance.. so he can prepare himself.
