Hey guys,
I really want to start doing more boat fishing next season. I bought my Sea Eagle 14' inflatable boat with 6HP engine(i know, it needs a bigger engine) last year in July.
We took it out a few times this season, but I never got to seriously fish it, except for the MONSTER whatever-it-was that hooked on and peeled lots of drag from me but unhooked itself:cool: .
I just bought a Penn International 975. I took into consideration everthing that you guys said, but I have made a decision that I would use my Spinfisher 5500SS for all my surf-work, and this from off my boat, especially because we are going to make a few sleep over trips to Block Island in my dad's 24' Rinker, and I would like to try to find some big stripers and maybe some SCHOOL bluefin (im thinking up to 10 pounds, the International says it can handle it, but whats the largest tuna 20 pound line can handle, If I set the drag good?)
Anyway, I just wanted to know if any of you knew of some good boat fishin' spots for stripers that I could start out with in April or May. I am not asking you to share your "Honey holes" just some good general striper/blue places up near Greenwich Bay/Newport/Bristol.:confused:
:happy: :happy: :cool: :D
