20-25 depending on who you get it off. There's a nasty bunch there so avoid them.
Also this time of year it's quite rough so give it a month or so for good weather and calmer waters

Have you driven a boat before. If not I recommend you go out with someone who has and learn from them.
Too many young lads go out and assume they know what they're doing and can end up being a bad day for everyone.

Jays us don't row. Current out there can move that boat a hell of a lot faster than you can row.

You can use mackerel feathers and a 3 Oz weight, keep jigging it up and down and you get mackerel and make even pollack.
You could also use ragworm drop it down on the same Weight right to the bottom, you could pick up flatfish, cod, bass etc if they're about.
There are special rods designed for boats but I just use my 10 ft beachcaster, have no problems using it on a boat yet. 10 lb+ line.
