I'd like to get out further. Just don't have enough confidence yet. I'm only a few years into this, but it would be nice to get a group together so I can get more experience.

Tip for you: You only get confidence by DOING it. Watch weather forecasts, maintain your boat and pick your day. While out, trust your instincts and your boat. Once you get out of the sight of land a few times you will become more comfortable with going out some distance. And if you get a few fish along the way, all the better!

Well said jerryK. Great advise. Going out as as group of boats not only a safe way to get farther offshore but fishing this way we find the fish faster!

Confidence = doing it. Good tip and makes sense. I’ve been going further each time. My previous boat wasn’t as capable, so I’m excited to explore more next season.

It's nice to see our forum bring guys together. A few years ago like 5 I met up with a member and to this day we still fish together both inshore and offshore. We come from two different worlds but share the same passion for fishing.

Maybe a new area to post on. Called thick skin. If you can't take a joke or get upset if your thrown under the bus dont open. If you have a good sense of humor and like to break balls could be a lot of fun.

Aka Check your Ego….this is a saying often heard over the last 30 years as a group of us (10 plus educators) gathered every Thursday to play cards and harass each other over work, hobbies, sports, teams, etc. you name it and we laughed about it.

I trailer my 245DC and frequently put in at Atlantic Highlands or Belmar. I have no issues (always watching the weather) going for Mahi and made several poor attempts at Tuna up to 50 miles out. Did my last striper trip for the season about 10 days ago- stripers have been off the chart this fall.
