Not new to forum but was lucky enough to retire at 46 move to Florida and just getting ready to buy a boat. Do a lot of fishing lived on lake in NJ all bass, pickerel, lake trout and hybrid stripers. Now want to hit the salt and enjoy specks, redfish snapper but want to be able to get into sailfish, wahoo and others too. Also don’t Mind fishing from the bank of local ponds for LMB etc. any help suggestions will be appreciated greatly!! Like I said in Hobe sound gonna hit jupiter pier see what I can learn there but looking for anyone who needs a co-angler so I can learn some and see what type of boat I’m going to need to be able to enjoy the beautiful Florida fishing!! Thanks!

From Jensen Beach: To fish offshore you wouldn't want to go less then 23 feet, preferably 25 or more. two engines are better than one. You wouldn't have to go far out to flatline for King Mackerel, but the Sails, Wahoo, and Dolphin are more often found in deeper water. You may want to consider keeping your boat near the Jupiter inlet which is not that far from Hobe Sound because the Gulf Stream is usually only about 3 miles offshore. Hobe Sound is right between the Saint Lucie inlet and the Jupiter inlet. I had a 25 foot John Allman here in Jensen beach about 20 years ago but now I mostly use a 6 pack that go's out of Jupiter only I'm limited to flatlining and bottom fishing. I may be able to answer any questions.
