NJSWF 2012 Offshore Tuna Trip Oct 5 – 6

[Reel McCoy]

Thanks Rick, 

[Still Running]

Just received an e-mail from the Captain, he would like to know how many rods we will need.
I see this is going to be a pain to try to keep track of who wants a rod and who doesn’t. So I am going to figure a rod for everyone unless you post that you don’t need one.
Remember you can only use Mono.

Our trip includes rods, bait/tackle & fish cleaning services that are not include if this were an open trip.

Thanks
Rick

[Hotrod]

No rod needed.

[Duffman]

No rods needed for myself and my buddy.

[Bucktail]

If it really is mono only then I will need a rod.

[Still Running]

If it really is mono only then I will need a rod.

Will do

[Reel McCoy]

I am curious what rod/reels the guys are bringing with them.  Also what tackle should we be bringing with us, Hooks, sinkers, leaders, jigs, rods for smaller fish, etc....  This is my first time on this type of Tuna trip...  Thanks.

[Wreckfish]

Dan that a really good question.
1) Two standup rods with 4/0 60lb Ande
2) Standup with AVET LX with 50lb Ande
3) Custom made (In progress) Seeker GTS 60H with Accuratize Penn Jigmaster with 50Lb Ande.
4) Tsunami Airwave with Avet MLX 30Lb ande

whats a good choice for mahi i have a 7ft one piece hvy action ugly stick is that ok for mahi with a penn 650ss or schimono bait runner never been off shore bait fishing went trolling in shore grounds once and got skunked and ill need a rod for the tuna

[Duffman]

ALOT of my usual aresenal will be staying in the rack at home.  ALL of my jigging stuff is loaded with braid.  Reels are too small to switch them over to mono and I wont have the capacity I need on them.

Have a lighter setup for the daybreak longfin bite that wont be coming either, braid on that too.. ...no big deal, is is what it is.

Penn International 50 on a Penn Tuna stick, 80lb mono for sword dropping.

Penn International 30 on a Chaos chunk rod, 60 lb mono for tuna chunking.

Shimano Bairunner 3500 on a 6'6" Ugly stik for mahi.

Trout rod for surface squid.  Penn Jigmaster  on a Tsunami 7' MH rod for mid/deep squid jigging.
