If we're bassing guys then make sure you have lots of:-
3/0 hooks
also want a few plain weights (Not grip weights)
Also need 13 to 15Ib leader line. (assuming you have 20Ib+ main line)
You will loose a few hooks and possibly a few weights (i lost 2 weights).
Clearly if we Tope fish then its 100Ib+ leader line (wire trace is good)
or do what i did and just fish for everything but tope (no mackrel bait).

your welcome...
I turned up on the boat last time and Rob said right, 3/0 hooks no fancy beams, and plain weights and 15Ib trace line....
I was thrown as i had prepared my 5/0 hooks, 50Ib trace line and new shiny grip bopmb weights...
Mad dash and some improvising and borrowing and i had the tackle needed....
As for the forecast.... doesn't seem to be improving and has been borderline all week.
Fingers crossed...
