Me and CowboyJustine is heading down for 2-3 days. Anyone wanna tag along. Im gonna bring every rod I got from Snapper to Shark

Wish I could but gotta take a weekend off before the onslaught of the shark tourney. Definitely bring your full arsenal of gear, people laugh at me when I bring 10-12 rods but it's nice to have a rod for every purpose ready without having to re-rig. Tip: if you have enough rods, I always leave one heavy spinner rigged with a big bucktail and one with a freelined 4/0 hook to pin to whatever live bait you have handy, you never know when a cobe or school of bruiser jacks comes through and it pays to be prepared.

Thanks for the tip. I own just 4 rods right now. Big Shimano Torium I bought today with a nice Offshore Extreme 30-60 lb rod. Came with free 450 yards of 50 lb Momoi Diamond at BPS. I even got a extra 10% off
Its my big tortuga grouper rod, but Im gonna try to shark fish with it.

Saltist 50 shs with 360 yards of 30 lb Momoi Diamond and a 65-200 lb jig rod by Offshore Extreme. Its so skinny I cant beleive its that heavy duty, and the tip is so light I figured to go heavy, that way if I ever switch my Saltist and Torium rods I know il stand up to the task. I actually picked up my father in law with this rod and almost flung him over my shoulder. Going to use this for tarpon, big snapper, grouper, wahoo

Fenwick walmart special. I gotta quit dissing this rod. Its my biggest producer. at just 120 yards of 10 lb line This 6 foot spinner caught me a 4 lb peacock a 5 lb mutton and my 7lb monster mangrove. I love this cheap flimsy stick

8 lb shakespere walmart special. Catches nice bait ><

Missing a 20 lb spinner and 20 lb bait caster ><

Hoping to get my hands on the calcutta 700s but the seller keeps putting me off. Still dont have a rod for it yet.
Hoping for some suggestions.

The spinner I got my eye on a shimano 6500 baitrunner. Again dont have a rod for it yet, open to suggestions also. but I dont like heavy action rods for spinners.

Hey Killula,
New on the forums, but seen quite a few of your post/

I'm headed to the Keys today after work (Friday), so I won't be there til around 9:00 tonight.
I'm just going to fish a few of the bridges for snapper, unless I decide to use my rain check at Robbies and do a yellow tail trip. I was planning on Toms Harbour - if my memory is right, channel two isn't too far from there.

dhawk, call me up sometime if you wanna meet up. 954-554-4765
Were doing mostly night fishing also. Were going to be chumming and dropping a latern next to the water to help get the bait to us, and hopefully the predators.

Heading down to the keys tonight as well. Dont know with who or where just yet. Waiting on final approval from my posse and mother nature.

Killula, I saved your number, i'll call you when im down there to see what you guys are up to and maybe drop by.

sweet, im kinda newbie compared to you guys here, hoping to get some pointers. Hope to see you out there, Im heading out the door now.

I am headed out from Cape Coral at 6:00 pm - my plan was to fish Toms Harbour, depending on which bridge has spots open.
