First trip of the year 4/17 for Tile. Gear all set, rigging completed. Going on a different head boat out of Pt. Pleasant this year. I'm sure @GreenFan15J has heard of the Gambler as it is primarily a tuna boat. Got 4 other planned trips for '25 and one booked for '26. Will be fishing The Gulf twice and the local canyons twice. Will squeeze in a few inshore trips basically to hang with the wife on a meat hunt for the usual suspects. Tight Lines!!!
We scrapped plans last night to head offshore today. Thankfully so.... ocean's flat as a lake, but it's storming/raining its ass off.
You guys ever use this Penn Line Spooler? DOes it provide enough tension? https://www.amazon.com/Penn-HD-Line-Winder-Black/dp/B07JDFPZX2
It weighs 7lbs. that should provide pretty good base weight.I'm not so sure about the line tension but there's a workaround I'm sure.
