I'm wanting some good fish tacos while I'm down there. Staying with family, so we should be able to pull that off. If I catch something interesting like a halibut. I will try and vac PAC it so I can freeze it and take it home to enjoy. Otherwise I'll likely let most fish go unless they tell me they are great to eat.
They say on this half day rock fish type trip they use 10 -20 lb test line. I have my pole set up with 35 lb braid so it casts nice, but is fairly strong. Is braid tough to rinse the salt out of? My reel is a Cabela Salt water reel, so I hope it will work well. Kind of seems like I'm a real rookie on this trip where I don't know much about most of the fish varieties. I did fish Florida ocean waters in the early 80's when I was on my mission, but I didn't have time to learn the game very well and I went after halibut in Homer AK in 05, but that was a guided trip where I just held the pole and reeled in the fish. I'm hoping this will be a little more fun than that one. Thanks for the response. Later J
