Wow, thanks for all the replies you guys! One of the first diy things I made were tethers for my stuff. The other thing I believe I'm missing is a vhf radio, but would I need one in long beach harbor?

It's always good as insurance, but with all the boat traffic In a harbor you can get by without. Maybe bring a buddy or fish with someone on here first before trying solo trips. It would be a confident builder. Now fishing 5 miles offshore without a radio could get you admittance to the nut house. Nothing will build your confidence on the water more than time, but safety is no light topic.

Sound advice YakDout. I like it.

OK guys. How about this Sunday morning? I assume it's easiest to launch from Cherry Beach. Also, I can only fish until about 9ish, so the earlier the better! Send me a PM.

Now... what is your advice on rig setup? I only have a small bass rod I've been using in the bays with 6# line. I also have my surf rod with 15lb braid. I've been drop shotting 3" zoom fluke jr.'s and also big hammer swim baits. will these work?
