Sd overnight prowler trip
Anyone have any experience with the prowler on an overnight trip? I think it's out of fisherman's landing. My buddy is planning a mini bachelor trip on it and I was hoping for a little intel.
Any suggestions regarding gear etc? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

Buzz is a Legit Captain and his crew is very good.
Take 25# to 40# rigs. No need for heavy setups since Buzz probably won't waist your time looking for Cow BFT. He'll just put you on fish YT, YFT and Dorado. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Parking is a problem.
Get a ride, taxi, Uber. |

Bring it all! They will tell you what's been working when you go on your trip.

only complaint from my last trip was the crew did an half ass job at processing the fish.

Worst advice ever... bring it all including the kitchen shrink.

So would the usual 65# braid to 50# fluoro leader be ok on the heavier side on a 7' stick. And something like 25# mono on a lighter rig.

No Dropper Loop needed. Flyline or Flyline and add a Slip Shot 1/4 to 3/4 oz depending on size of bait and how deep the fish are. You can take both surface or Yoyo Iron, even Colt Snipers. Yes those setups with line are fine. Just need short Floro tipped on each one except the one you're using to toss Iron. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Good boat, good captain.
I'd bring 25#, 40# and 65# just in case. As on most overnight boats in the summer, space is at a premium on the boat, travel as light as you can.

Call the landing and ask what tackel to bring...
Better yet, if you have the time , go down to the boat a day/evening or two before your trip and talk to the crew. As you know things can change overnight. I worked the boats for many many years, finally becoming the 2nd ticket on the RRIII. So if I was going I'd bring all spectra line and a variety of fluorocarbon spools of leader materials. Terminal tackle info you can get from the crew. I'd bring the flat falls - for sure. Bring one set up for the big boys...just in case. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!

Thanks guys. Stopped by the landing today for work and they said check back in Sept haha. But sounds like 3 setups should do the trick. 25# spectra to fluoro, 40# mono and 65/50# spectra/fluoro sounds doable. Hope my rods can handle it. None of them are super long except my 12-20# rods so casting on the boat might be an interesting experience.
Now... to figure out how to properly fish heavy metal.... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |
