[quote name="liltex" post="1233642" timestamp="1341233557"] If you go offshore on a Galveston Party boat try to reserve a spot off the back of the boat.Less line crossing and you can drift a spanish sardine to catch kings,ling etc.Bring some wire leaders 24" and put 2 hooks 6" apart & hook 1 through the head,the other bury in the flesh behind the fin and attach a strong swivel to 1 end.Buy your own bait and fish big baits-not the small squid they chop up and put in the troughs and gets hot and keep your bait in a sm.cooler w/ice to keep fresh(note:fresh 6-8" mullet works well).You're better off to bring 2 of your own hvy rods cause theirs is junk ;) [/quote] I agree. I thought about getting some mullet but time slipped up on me. You have to reserve far in advance to get at the back of the boat. I may bring my own rod next time but the ones supplied by the boat will get the job done.
