Chesapeake bay gear
Thinking of getting out on the bay if I can find a reasonable priced way of doing it, and wondering what tackle folks use?
I've done a lot of catfishing got 3000 - 5000 reels for cats and surf fishing but the rods are pretty long. Then I've got some medium fast 6' rods and reels for ditch pickles (LMB).
When I boat fished as a teen it was in deeper 100-200' water for skate, conger, spurdogs and the odd shark with trolling reels like penn senator style reels with 50lb mono and heavy ass glass rods 40lb rods.
I'm going to assume that's overkill for the bay, so what do you folks use?
What I'd love to get to give you an idea of what i'd target
- Sheep
- Drum
- Cobia
- Bluecats
