question-what does the boat supply for rods/reel/line? think im going to leave my stuff at home and use the boats stuff. i got regular dacron and if the boat got Pwr pro or some other super braid ill just leave my stuff at home.

Christian-

Mike has everything you need (rod reel line terminal tackle and...the boat), just bring warm clothes and dramamine and food/beverage. Cooler too for the fish.

is http://www.samadams.com/beer/images/...ager-label.gif allowed?

:confused: Can't see anything in between "is" and "allowed." Stupid work connection. :laughs:

That's definitely goes into the "food" category. :D

:bounce:

just got a shipment of Ledgerunner curlytail grubs!!!! :happy: all set now! :D damn weather better hold up.......

praying, sacraficing plugs, do what you got to do. doesnt look good though.:(

that sux.....hope the weather ends up good, i'll sacrifice a storm shad, just for fun because they burn well, probably the oil on them:rolleyes: :D ....

Just got my cod outfit in and set up today: tell me what your think.

Penn Senator 4/0 113H
Ugly Stik BWB1120 8' (40-80#) H
30# Big game backing, soon to get 50# Spectron OR Powerpro, still deciding.
:D

o ya thatll rock for cod, youll love that rod and that reel. i havent used superbraids but ive heard how much better they are than regular dacron. i got the same setup as you. you might want to cut some off the tip of that rod in the future if you want to do alot more jigging. its still works for bait after you cut it, but its really nice for jiggin cut down. :D

thanks the sacraficed storm jig, might help some. :D :laughs:

i have been told by a couple of guys that the 4/0's are not superbraid "friendly". something about there being too much of a gap between the spool and the side of the reel. i guess the line is prone to getting stuck in there. no personal experience with it though, as my 4/0 has been sitting on the "reel shelf" for over a year now. :smash:

Thanks for the help.

Christian, FWW is contacting Cpt. Mike to see if there is a possibility of another spot. My dad already gave me the OK. So if it turns out well, I'll get the chance to meet you Saturday....
im not putting my hopes up though, Capt. Mike has to approve and the weather has to work out.....
:happy:

The weather gods will prevail! Vic, I have the same setup and the tip is too soft. Have your tackle shop cut it down to the guide after the tip and put a roller tip on, maybe 15 bucks. Use 80 lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid instead. Its a great mono line and has the diameter of 50#, its waterproof so it won't swell and Stretch so ya lose your bottom feel. Its the only setup I use for party boats. If your only going to fish on your boat go with the braid. It dosen't work on party boats cause if your fishing the Stern the Googan at the bow fishing clams with 5 oz will getcha every time :laughs: :smash:

You talkin' to me? :blush: :tooth: :laughs:

chit! chit! chit! where do I get some? chit! chit! chit! :eek: :smash:

Pics, Toby?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that roller tip helps alot? ill get an aftco one, since I hear alot about them. so your cut the tip top off and hsve them put the roller guide on, or cut the tip top and next guide off and put the roller tip on to make it a little shorter/stouter?

BTW, I tied 10 cod rigs with 2 dropper loops and Gami Octopus 5/0, barrell swivel and 3" PINK B2 SQUIDS for teasers. Do cod like these, and hwo do the rigs sound?

thanks for the help guys:D

Vic. put the roller where the second guide was . imho it makes it the perfect rod.! And use the yo-zuri hybriid!

thanks swede. ill get that tip on there soon.
but I think im gonna stick with 80# Cortland Spectron or PowerPro, since I had some bad experiences with the lighter Yo-Zuri hybrid, I think it had horrible memory.

It does have bad memory on a spinner, don't use it . 80# yz is GREAT on a 113 Cod reel. Trust me..Use 80 Hybrid..

ben, no pics since my camera is a piece of crap and i had a bit of an argument with it last week..... :bsod:

Vic, i have had AWESOME results with the yo-zuri hybrid! i won't use any other mono now. i put 25# on my VS200, and run 30# on my abu 7000's in the surf. the stuff is the best mono i have ever used. wonder how long it will take for them to discontinue it. :af:

I see.....but isnt braid the best for cod jigging?

yeah, for jigging. i was just saying that i have had great success with the hybrid. have not tried the smaller diameters. i will be spooling up my 4/0 with it for another rod i gotta build this winter.

yes, braid is better for jigging but sometimes you're not allowed to use it (some party boat skippers forbid it).

all the party boats I plan on going on allow braid.
does the "avemaria charters" in case I go on?
FWW, any update or nada so far?

Vic - yup, braid okay on Ave Maria.

Still waiting to hear....will let you know.

Pray for good weather.

-B

i did more than pray, a sacrafice was made.
neighbors had no idea what i was doing, i told them it was the only way, i have to do it. its my only hope

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :eek: that had better have been a BM needle. :laughs:

Ditto. :err::eek:

where would you consider the place we'll be fishing as? cape cod bay? i think my sacrafice worked.
