We were 32 miles out, near the Resor.

We use cabela's depth master 50 reels and Diawa Sealine 20-50 6'6 rods

We were 55 miles out near, the AP

The best thing we can suggest is to watch for water temps in the 70s that create a temp break along a contour line. The 180 ft (30 fathom) line is a great place to start.

Definitely! Always looking for a buddy boat when we run out to 30 fathoms plus.

Thanks Mike! We are in Lanoka Harbor, just north of you!

Very cool! Did you get in on that bluefin bite? We are headed for sea bass as soon as the weather improves

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 2 Sundays ago we where absolutely surrounded at the Barnegat ridge and just couldn't hook up. I took advantage of the weather and pulled the boat to get some maintenance in and ill be back out as much as possible this week to hit the sea bass

Thanks for the compliment! We were about a mile south of there. Tried to stay away from the fleet, as much as possible.

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 it worked for you, good call!!

Thank you for the comment and for watching! Makes us very happy that you enjoyed it!!

Thanks for the comment. The HD version has not been processed by RUclips. The only resolution viewable now is 480p. 1080p HD should be processed soon.

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 good to know. I could only view in 360 mode

Nice video, but the background music kills it, not just this song but all of it, especially on loop...... would be neat to hear the experience and see it..... otherwise love the channel

@@AdmiralGlascock Thank you for the comment! We are working with new editing software so we are still refining the backing track levels. Episode 3 should be better. Thanks again!

Thank you very much! So glad that you are enjoying them!

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the episode!

To be honest, I'm not really sure what make it was.

Thanks for the comment! Glad to liked it!

Thanks for tuning in! Glad you're enjoying the episodes!

Thanks for the question! We will turn off the engines for a couple drifts past the buoy. Then, leave them idle as fish typically become used to them.

Thanks!! We were using 15 lb fluoro.

What are pots? It's this a NJ thing?

@@wazup3333 trap bouys. We call all of them lobster pots. Usually sea bass or conch or lobster. They place the traps around shipwrecks and hard bottom areas. Off NJ it's basically a desert out to 60 miles. The only thing is wrecks, no coral or stone. So most fishing is centered around a piece of structure. The pots attract bait. It's a place to hide. Then the bigger fish hang around to pick them off. I'm summer the mahi will be usually within 50 yards of the pot. Allot of people will run up on pot and throw cut bait. It's a waste of time. Mahi are predators. They want to chase and catch their meal. If you troll post with ballyhoo they will mangle it. Then you chunk to keep them around your boat. "Hopping" spooks more fish then you catch and if they don't spook then they definitely ain't eating. Troll till you find them on a pot and hook one. Then chunk

@@mulletoutdooradventures6286 I don't think we have those traps on long island. It also desert until you get to the canyons , do "submarine cables" on the navionics charts hold fish? I see no recks or structure south of fire island inlet and getting to canyons is far

@@wazup3333 you'll see traps up there. And you'll find bluefin anywhere from the beach to canyon. I've gotten them 2 miles off AC. Anything on bottom is better then sand. You'll find pots is you try blind trolling. It's inevitable. I found 20 last weekend just trolling around. I try to tell people you can't catch it you're not fishing. On some days I put my trolling spread out just out the inlet.

@@mulletoutdooradventures6286 what kind of line do you use? I've heard tuna are very like shy and to use 30lb? But on trolling lures/ spreads you got to use 100lb mono?

Sorry Micky, wrong video. Those are Penn Squall 30ld.

​@@smallboatbigoceantv2028what's the fleet?

Hi Mike, we run the outside rods back about 70 ft and the transom rods back 45 ft. We use Cabela's Depth Master reels so we can keep track of amount of line out.

Thank you!!

@@Mike-hs8fq Anytime. With the #1 planers, boat speed also plays into how deep the planer will run, which is around 15-17 ft. We were trolling at 5mph so 70 ft out was only to keep the outside planers from tangling. You could get 15 ft down with 50-60 ft.

You are most welcome anytime!!! Gald you all had a fun time!

Indeed. Seeing the kids have a good time was time well spent! Thanks for the comment!!

Thank you very much for the comments!!

Thank you! You're hooked now!!

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 i sea what you did there

@@muddy1791 we clever like that!

Great question! Yes, we do anchor over wrecks but I forgot the wreck anchor and wasn't too familiar with this wreck so I opted to not drop the fortress anchor.

Yessir!

Thanks you the comments! Gotta be on constant lookout when out there.

Thank you!! Yes indeed! We use 3 30VSW and 2 50VSW reels!

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 Thanks. I currently have a set of Shimano TLD 25s and I was debating also getting a set of the larger TLD 50s. Do you recommend the Penn VSW 50s over the TLDs?

@@gcogs2296 I can't honestly comment about the TLD series as I haven't used them. Having said that, they are very popular for a reason because Shimano makes great gear. We have been using VSWs for several seasons now and they have greatly exceeded my expectations so I can truly recommend them. Hope this helps!

Thanks Andy! Happy to hear that you are enjoying it. We will be slipping in Waretown this summer.

It is our pleasure. We are very glad that you are enjoying the channel!

Thanks for the tip! We will certainly give that a go next summer!

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 thats what is tough up here tough fishing winter. Hopefully you guys get out and make a taug episode.

@@darenleeper1644 We have a tautog run planned. Hopefully we can get out and get some good video from it!

Thank you for the comment!! We fish on a 2000 Cape Horn 24 offshore with twin 175 zukes.

Thank you, Ken! So are absolutely correct, have to be alert at all times!

Thanks! Us too!

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 we are heading out tomorrow 👍

@@CharlesBlack1 best of luck for a safe and successful trip! Let us know how you make out!!

Nice Job love the videos. We were out Friday at the AP it was dead only a couple yellowfin landed we also want pot hoping and got 13 mahi-mahi

Thanks!

We now have a 00 Cape Horn 24os. The boat used in that video was a pro-line 20 Sport

Thank you!!

There is no way that sporty was going to hear my horn with how fast he was going.

We did prevent a collision. I took the boat out of gear and had another vessel trolling on my starboard so I could not alter any more than I did.

That is a a great tool for pot hopping for sure! I saw a boat with it yesterday a d it was so cool to see them just hang there!!

I didn't see the boat name but did speak to Manasquan Coast Guard today and they believe they have the boat identified.

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 Great. Registration visible on the vid?

@@thomasmcgee3286 unfortunately not. I went frame by frame and could not find the reg # on the boat

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 Oh that sucks

@@smallboatbigoceantv2028 i'd have cleared my set and chased that fucker down. those sporties think they own the place well on a flat calm day like that a CC with twin outboards u will catch him in no time to get his name and tag or at least fire an 8 oz sinker thru a salon window. fuck those assholes
