Hello,

I have been reading a lot of these posts and everyone has so much good info on here.

I am planning on coming up from Mansfield Wed. with my son and son-in-law. I have a 17foot v bottom boat with line counter reels and an I-pilot system on board and off shore boards, I have no kicker. I would like to do some trolling. I am concerned about going out too far as a rookie. any suggestions would be helpful as to where to go out from, do I need to ferry out to the Islands? I do have a radio on board. Just looking for a good starting point with maybe some suggestions on what to bring along....maybe someone to call?

Thanks
