Custom Outfitting for Offshore Anglers
My work has given me the chance to fish on literally hundreds of different boats over the years, ranging from single-engine center consoles to huge sportfishers. Along the way, I’ve had hands-on experience with virtually every chartplotter, sounder, radar, electronic chart, fishing forecast service, outrigger, rod holder, anchor system, gaff, harpoon, kill bag, cooler, cast net, rod, reel, tackle storage setup, rigging tool and fillet knife out there. In short, I know firsthand what works and what doesn’t.
Whether you’re rigging and equipping a new (or new-to-you) boat, upgrading your existing setup, or just getting started in South Florida offshore fishing, I can help you prioritize the most important purchases; choose the best electronics, rigging and tackle for your budget and fishing style; and set your boat up as a fish catching machine.
A few specific examples of things I can help with include:
Conventional and spinning rods and reels
Deep drop and swordfishing rods and reels
Terminal tackle selection — hooks, weights, crimps, swivels, etc.
Electric reel power systems
Kite fishing essentials
Rod holder selection and layout
Outrigger selection and rigging
Anchor and rode selection and rigging
Anchor retrieval systems
Radar, chartplotter, sounder and transducer selection and setup
Tackle storage solutions
Pliers, crimpers, knives, fish processing tools and supplies, descending and venting devices, etc.
Cast net selection
Etc.
Pricing for outfitting services is quoted according to your needs and the extent of the project. Outfitting services can also be combined with fishing trips. For instance, we can fish in the morning and go over rigging, equipment and tackle in the afternoon.
