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.

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'
