>>776454Depends what you want and where you live. I live in VIC along the great ocean road where we get a huge variety of stuff. Regular 50g+ shiny metal lures are great for kingfish and tuna, anything under that gets mackerel and salmon. Decent sized poppers and 100g+ lures while trolling or jigging can get tuna, pelagic sharks and kingfish. I use homemade shiny bits of rubber cut to look like baby squid. It fucking rocks.
Running sinker rigs while anchored with a berley pot gives you snapper and all manners of sharks.
25 meters (depending on where you are fishing) gives decent sized everything. 75 metres youre looking at big game. 175metres if you want swordfish and makos bigger than your boat.
No clue about fishing in the US but my understanding is that florida is the same as Australia. Troll or spin for small oily baitfish like mackerel and salmon, drive out deeper to the edge of a reef, anchor and either use live bait on a game rod or fillets on regular setups.
Shallows with pippies or squid will give whiting and flathead in my area.
