I appreciate all your replies and safety tips
. I will be getting geared up for a couple shark and tuna chunkin trips. Don't think this will be the year for getting all the offshore trolling equipment. Drifting and chunkin sounds more like my thing. With fuel prices might have to drift the hole way out to.
Has anyone used or know anything about those extendable out riggers, 15'-0 extended? Seacoast is one brand for around 200.00 for a complete set up to run 4 lines, sounds cheap . I would like them for trolling for stripers. Thanks again for your help, their ain't nutn wrong with Johnson.
