Roger, I gotta a Penn Battle 6000, but also looking at a conventional for some bigger/further fish. Will a 113H 4/0 work or should I look for a 6/0 instead as a more viable option. Not trying to win any world records on longest fights, or biggest fish on smallest reel. Just keeping it cheap and functional. Planning on spooling with 40-50lb Big Game or ANDE and maybe braid? 12/0 circles.
Pablo a 4/0 will work for everything but the the really big sharks. no problem catching a 100/200lb on it. I'd spool it with 100lb braid. you can get leader already made up at one of the tackle shops here or up there. Albert has a shop now for the last few yrs.

also get the 113HLW its wider and holds more line. there are a few rod makers in houston that make some nice custom surf rods.

I have leaders. But making extra ones wouldn't be difficult. The husband of a nurse I work with also wraps and makes rods. Maybe I'll get the chance to wrap one myself, under his guidance. 6ft M/H rod? steel reel seat?

Guys here's the deal i just talked to my Buddy Brian who i went snapper fishing with, he said if we want he can take us out in the big boat for a 100-150 apiece basically enough to cover fuel and bait ect.

"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
he can handle several of us in the big boat. 10-12 easy.

Roger, September is looking better, schedules came out and I will have some flexibility. Likely to come with family if that is the case. Separate question: which brand of tent/cot do you have? I remember it setup very easily.

i had a single person tent cot but rats in the storage unit i was renting chewed it up.

I'd be interested in this! Looks like fun, and I'm all over surf fishin' and land based sharkin'
cool, as get gets a little closer we will set a date.
