Oldbayrat...deep water seabass and ling fishing is pretty straight forward..bring a number of hooks from 2/0 through 7/0 since you never know what you are going to encounter this time of the year. If you are using a dropper hook rig, just switch off the larger hooks, with 2/0 and 3/0 hooks if you see scup around, which is a very good possibility at this time of the year. Use a slightly heavier sinker if they drift, or if the current is running harder then usual. Bring some heavy jigs from 4oz-10oz, 2 of each size is fine. And make sure you load up the rig before you crank it up, when you make your first couple of drops on a spot. No reason to pull one fish at a time, when you can pull 3 at a lash, especially when you first get to a spot. You be surprised at how fast a spot gets cleaned off nowadays.
And please give us a report on this board, on how the trip went.
