Charter Fishing Newport Beach

Beginner Fishing! need help! SoCal?
I am hooked! I fell in love with fishing after going to the fishing with my friend on a platform a few weeks ago … its my birthday in a week and my gf wants to take me for a charter boat fishing in open water! * Questions may be newport beach 1/2day *: 1. I bought cheap rod & reel (below 40 * $ *) @ Wal-Mart … Would I need a Upgrade? .. * The fishing line is under £ 15 * 2. Everything I have taken on the quay (wharf redondo) Spanish mackerel are using Sabik platforms … What will I need for that day? (* Bait Lures ?..*, what kind?, All other fishing equipment?) 3. Are there any sites that may help me learn more about boat-sea fishing? Thank you for your time!
1. I bought cheap rod and reel combo ... Depending on the species, after the boat is the day you went out, a combo may or may not work not. If they are, after the small fish in relatively "shallow" water, many low / combos catfish will be sufficient. Currently, most boats were after groundfish species. Bottom fishing is interesting. You can catch small fish and small fish with the same very important baits and rigging. Even though many of them do not fish in deep water, you will feel under powered freshwater by many and / or surf fishing combo. My advice is to make your combo with you and ask deckhands (no port workers) if your equipment is sufficient. If you need heavier configurations, rental rods and reels are always available. Do not buy a rod and reel until you tried it. bottom fishing on a boat carrying cattle could be very different from fishing on the pier and you may or may not like it not. 2. Everything I have taken on the wharf ... What will I need ... Since most boats bottom fishing are now, you do not need much to start. You only need hooks and sinkers of different sizes. The boat will provide the bait. Bring size 2, 2 / 0, 4 / 0 hooks. Bring a little 4 oz, 12 oz and 8 oz torpedo sinkers or cannonball. If the boat is deeper than the fishing waters of 200 feet and / or water could be stirred, to obtain at least 1 pound redfish lead on the platform. You need heavy weights to increase your platform fast and keep your right to avoid clutter. If you do not want to make as many weights, do not bring lighter weights, weights that are heavier than necessary are always better especially on a charter boat. You can put platforms linked to pre-redfish or high / low platforms if you wish. It This is a limitation on the number of hooks allowed when fishing for redfish when a platform Sabik can not be used. You can use rockcod / redfish flies well. They are around $ 2 per pack at Wal-Mart. 3. Are there any sites that can help me learn more on boat / sea fishing? There are some sites that contain information for the fishing charter boat. Just type on the advice of any fishing for redfish Which search engine produces a huge list. Keep in mind many of these sites containing information for fishing on private boat Instead of cattle fishing boat. You have the luxury of using light plated on private boats. If you're on a cattle boat, you want to avoid confusion. Redondo Sport Fishing is very good. Pierpoint Landing is very good.
