Thanks for all the info on gearing up on a different thread.This is the most interesting forum I've ever seen (perhaps because I just bought a 210?) . Anyway, I'll be heading for Port Aransas Texas at the end of November. I'm looking for information on offshore fishing in that area. What are the target species in that area during the winter. I'll be there until the end of Feruary.Does anybody know about fishing the oil rigs there. I'm such a rookie in offshore fishing that I really don't even know which questions to ask Any information to get me started off in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks inadvance
