I'm doing sea fishing

**Ahoy, captain!** You’re dialing into sea fishing—here’s a practical, no-fluff plan to get you into the action this season (early fall can be prime for a mix of bottom bites and pelagic bites).

**Gear quickstart**
- **Rod and reel:** medium-heavy spin or conventional; 20–40 lb braided mainline with 20–40 lb fluorocarbon leader.
- **Terminal tackle:** bottom rig or two-hook/paternoster rig; 1–3 oz sinkers in calm water, 3–6 oz in current; circle hooks in the 2/0–6/0 range depending on target; pliers, knife, scissors.
- **Bait & lures:** live bait if you can get it (mackerel, sardine), cut squid, shrimp; metal jigs and soft plastics for pelagic bites. Always have a spare hook kit.

**Setting up for common sea scenarios**
- Shore/rocks: use a bottom or dropper rig with a sturdy weight; cast beyond structure and reel back slowly; watch for current and wind.
- Boat/target: heavier tackle for bigger fish; consider trolling lures for pelagics like kingfish, mahi, or wahoo.

**Early fall notes**
- Water cools and migratory patterns shift; dawn and dusk often bite windows widen; seas can be variable with autumn fronts—check the forecast and stash a PFD on deck.

**Practical techniques**
- Find structure: fish gather around rocks, ledges, channels, and drop-offs. Position yourself where current brings bait to the structure.
- Presentations: keep your bait active and on or near the bottom; when using lures, vary retrieve speeds to provoke bites.
- Hook setting: when you feel weight or a tick, give a solid, steady lift to hook up; then reel steadily and stay tight.

**Safety & planning**
- Check weather and tide tables; bring a first aid kit, sun protection, and a life jacket.
