My brother in law just bought a boat and wants to start fishing locally. I have a lot of shore and party boat experience but not much from a private craft except for fishing plastics in the harbor at night. So what I'm asking are a few questions such as the following:
1. I know trolling can produce yellows and cudas and such. Any recommendations on lures, troll speed, depth etc... I heard that flourocarbon leaders are good but not sure.
2. I know of places like the Horseshoe and P.V are there any other good spots we could try or maybe some kind of online guide to local areas someone has written?
3. What are some absolute do's and don'ts concerning fishing etiquette out there? I mean I know better than to cross into a sport boats chum line but what else should we look out for?
4. Should fish be brought in whole or can they be filleted at sea. I remember something from quite a while back about leaving the skin on in case DFG checks you.
5. Boating safety. Any tips are very appreciated!
If there's anything else you can think of saying my friends please do. I appreciate all answers and look forward to the responses! :)
