I am lucky enough to have a father in law who loves fishing and has pulled me in. I tag along with him on his beautiful boat (29' Wellcraft), and use all his stuff...
I do bring the cigars though.. it's a good deal
We fish in the bays outside of Atlantic City, NJ. Sometimes we venture outside into the ocean a bit to try some trolling. We mostly fish for flounder but also blue fish, strippers, sea bass, etc. We really don't catch much though. I look at this time mostly as an excuse to get some sun, relax, drink, and smoke several cigars on the water...
