How To Pick a Boat Fishing Rod & Reel
Can anyone help me pick a boat fishing rod & reel for saltwater in-shore fishing. I am mostly fishing in the long island sound, for blues fluke and strippers.
I would like to do bait fishing and also use poppers and jigs. Is there a rod and reel combos that would accomplish both types of fishing?
Also what lb test line is good?
Also what type of line should i buy? (braided, mono, flouro)

Best Saltwater Rod for Offshore Fishing
What is a good saltwater rod to setup with a baitcasting reel. I plan on doing some charter boat fishing. I want a rod thats affordable but thick and strong and sturdy. Id like the closest thing to an all purpose saltwater rod that can handle calico bass to yellowfin tuna, live baitin and iron jigging. Able to hold heavy 12 plus oz. lures for deep waters. I think you get the picture by now. Any recommendations will help.

Did I need to re-cycle my aquarium after change of fish?
I have started a aquarium, and have some bluegills that I caught at a local lake. I don’t like the feel of the fish so I’m gonna release the bluegills and start of with some tropical fish maybe some Angle fish or something. Since the fish is completely different, should I empty the tank and start new or just do a partial water change.
thanks
