    Are you still liking this setup? Any issues or anything you would do different next time?

      We haven't even had it on the boat this year as we just haven't been fishing much. But so far it's been perfect.

    Nice !!! The word " boat " break out another thousand !! Good luck on them swords.. That'll be perfect also for those tilefish I had some good numbers in the poor man's at the Rock piles for them the bottom was a mixture of hard ,muddy , rocky. Quite lots of golden tile, Blue Line, in Ruby Reds. And once in awhile we would get sea bass but they were for 5 lbs. Another great video !!

      Thanks Chip. We have two other dedicated setups now for the tiles. Never fished those rock piles!.

    I saw this video a while ago but didn’t comment. I stumbled across it again.
    Let me say that I am a jersey guy, I don’t live there anymore but still jersey to the bone nonetheless.
    I gotta say this...wtf. Didn’t anyone show you how to operate that reel? Didn’t you think something was wrong when the handle went flying around at 20 miles an hour and the whole thing was shaking like Saint Vitus dance!
    Ok - enough ball breaking...lol
    We catch em’ good in San Diego. I bought the LP1200 and like it a lot. The current is slow here, so most guys hand crank, myself included. We get away with 6 lbs of lead - very mild compared to most places.
    I prefer to use more (10 lbs) on the LP because it wears them down a lot more.
    The no current situation does seem to make the fish more erratic, they change direction a lot because there is minimal current to guide them.
    I know it’s cold there now, but these fish are always around. I subscribed, so I’ll check back in.

      ha. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. You would think for 5 k it'd have some instructions. But....yea I knew something was off. I figured it out in the end. I'm a pretty smart guy but lacking in mechanical common sense for sure.
      Glad to see ur out in Cali. I've thought about moving but just can't seem to leave family and friends.

    Why not to hollow core?

    • @reaperfishingnj8623
      @reaperfishingnj8623  4 роки тому

      we use hollowcore when using a long top shot. Not necessary for this application. I also don't like the way hollow core cuts through the water.

      @reaperfishingnj8623  3 місяці тому

      the internal components of the 80 wide are just like a regular penn, but anything related to the motor/hooker side you'll have to send to Hooker for service
