It should help.

Ultra light spinning (4-6lb) and light casting (10-14lb) reels with appropriate rods will do for the flats or inside the reef. Make sure your drags are in good order. The guides have equipment ranging from very good to awful. My suggestion is at least to bring your own reels and put them on the boat rods, unless you have quality travel rods.

A 6' muskie rod with a fast tip and some backbone will do nicely against a barracuda,but it's the wrong tool if your going out for tarpon IMO.

As for guides, Severo Guerrero is excellent (severo@btl.net). I used him last month and highly recommmend him.

HI. I AM A FISHERMAN FROM WISCONSIN THAT DOES ONLY CASTING AND SPINNING WHEN I GO WITH FLY GUYS. HAVE DONE SEVERAL TRIPS TO SAN PEDRO. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW? (FROM MEMONOMIE)

CIGARPETE, DO YOU CART YOUR OWN EQUIP. ALSO AN INFO ON QUIDES WITH GOOD EQUIP. I'D RATHER NOT CARRY MY 6 AND 7 FT RODS. EVERY TRYED NORTHERN
LURES, IE TUBES, RAPALAS, SPINNERBAITS JUST TO GO WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE AREA? THANKS

Most of the guides have decent gear...I take down several light to medium rods with reels, 4 to 8 pound test....I like to fish the cut by the hand ferry, out to the east...you can wade quite far fishing for bones, plus you can get a cold one at the bar and go back out....bring some hooks and sinkers for the local kids....they will tell you how/where to fish..enjoy...any shrimp (small) lure will work, or use sardines.
