Going with someone who really knows what they are doing is a huge help.
I was really really lucky that I got on a boat several times with Don (Hunter) and Dan (Onemorecast) who really know what they are doing and picked up a lot from them.
To answer your question about rods for umbrellas I use an Okuma Convector 45 reel on an Ande Tournament rod. 20-50 with no or little weight and 50-70 with weight. I got them from Tochtermans in Baltimore. About $140 with line.
BTW a tight budget and rockfishing do not go together well. I didn't realize it until Dan (Onemorecast) told me that this is a rich man's sport. It might be a bit of an overstatement because neither he nor I are rich, but we have spent a lot of money trying to catch rockfish.
I’ll show you everything I know, should only take about a half hour! Seriously though I’m always looking for people to go, I’m far from a professional but willing to have you along to show you a few things. My boat is located in Pasadena
Mako mike ... thanks for the gracious invitation.. I'd love to go out with you sometime, anytime actually..I'm new to this forum so what's the best way to set something up? email perhaps?
You know, it's funny Finprof... almost any sport any more is a rich man's game.. golf (which I've tried). tennis,, even bowling .. I just love being out on the water and would like to catch a few nice rockfish,,, but I just really don't know how
