Jacket - the early hours of the morning are really cold

Raincoat- just in case, it not nice to get wet at 2:00 am, and by the way, a raincoat does not keep you warm, so don't use it for protection against the cold. Some of them bimini tops not waterproof so water drips straight through.

A good flashlight and lantern, unless is a motherboat with a generator you going on

Extra sandwiches or food, enough water, and a thermos of something hot

A good dry bag to store your gear

Forget sandwiches, they get all mushy, power bars and for hot drinks no coffee! tea and hot chocolate. We've gone night fishing from the kayaks already and it does get cold so long sleeves are a must. head lamps and water proof flash lights.

We caught about 5 small sharks just off macaripe yesterday. Then we anchored under one of those ships in the gulf and and started pulling catfish in a rage. 12-40 pounders, one every 5 minutes.

Plenty broken lines, my 40lb leaders were snapping like twigs. Lots of stingrays were caught and released.

Many got away, but everyone had a blast.

Really tested my gears, need some heavier equipment

wire leader? mono or fluro?

[30hz]

Started with yo-zuri pink 30lb fluorocarbon, was snapping off hand casters
Moved on to sleeved stainless steel 40lb test with snaps n swivels. Snaps were opening up.
Old fashioned 60lb mono line, finally pulled in a few.

Best hook in the world = mustard ultrapoint demon inline circle hooks 5/0
Takes everything from 1-40lbs, it doesn't miss, doesn't straighten, doesn't burst through (redfish- samaan)

[mrlantra]

I like owners hooks, mostly cause they gave me a bunch for free.

[ryan99tt]

I use mustad and owners hook for different applications but for me, I rather the owners more Bcuz of the weight and thickness for the strength...obviously the cost is more than the mustad demons but fishing aint ah cheap sport...

[30hz]

Mustad has 2 types in the circle demon point series

extra fine & extra strong

I use extra fine for anything under 50lbs, I keep the extra strong in my kit but 7/0-9/0. Ain't get to use them yet.

I get all my stuff from Amazon

[meccalli]

The best circles I use are mustad duratins(39960/5), that's for big stuff though, the demons are brittle and rust way too fast for me. The owner nautilus style hooks are my favourite for everything else. Much more give, extremely sharp, small barbs that won't tear holes and really durable finish.

You should shop around, I find amazon not the best for fishing stuff, tho I do get a kayakers discount at certain shops abroad, also I find Mankees, Reel and tackle and the tackle shop have gear thats actually cheaper to buy here in some cases, rods, line, lures and hooks especially. Reels and dedicated stuff are only cheaper abroad during shows ( hence my penn squall, Mankees would be cheaper if it wasn't a demo day sale when my friends got it for me ).

[sleepertercel]

I'll just leave this here

[meccalli]

Yeah, they're classified as vulnerable. China targets mantas and there's a lot of bycatch fatalities. Hooked up one near movietown in January that I had to breakoff in order save my braid. There's a couple of medium sized ones that roam that inshore area from hyatt to westmoorings.

[30hz]

I swear I saw one that size just outside macaripe while going sau d' au. Not the brown sting ray, the spotted manta ray. Devil rays are huge was seeing him on both sides of the pirogue. At least a 12 foot wing span

[X_Factor]

we caught a couple already, but just cut the line closest to the hook and let them go, wont even bother injuring them for a hook

my cuz n them went out around scotland bay today, the got a decent catch made up of red fish, salmon, nice size grunts and a couple 4-5lb sharks

[ryan99tt]

Yea fellaz, my friend wit d longliner hav fish to sell...yellowfin tuna $15/lb...wahoo an marlin $14/lb...mahi is $16/lb...fish are 50+lbs....taking orders...
