I have been fishing for a while, but never have been serious about it. What should I stock my tackle box with if I am going to be fishing at the Jetties, or bottom fishing out near y-73?
24scout,
I like a good tackle bag. The one I use is made by Blacktip and it’s their large offshore bag. It has 4 big Plano tackle boxes in it. I have a box for plugs, a box for top water lures, a box for jigs and a box for terminal tackle such as crimps, hooks and weights. The sides of my bag are filled with leader material of assorted weights ranging from 20 up to 130 lb. The top of the bag is a binder for my king rigs and shark rigs. I know your question is about tackle so in short id recommend you have an arsenal somewhat like 1. jigs and spoons, 2. Diving plugs, 3. Topwater lures, 4. Terminal tackle. Your question is also very broad because of the two entirely different areas and different species of fish found at each one. The lures I would choose for the harbor wouldn’t do much for me at the y73 and vice versa.
