I have 13 330 gtis for trolling for stripers but if I were buying striper reels now, I would get Shimano charter specials and spool with either 30 diamond line or 50lb braid. I like level winds for setting the spread.

Mike,

There is so much variety in the Falmouth area it is hard to imagine. T-Taxi nailed most. But you really need to segragate it into regions:

Offshore North (Stellwagon) and East (Chatham): Bluefin Tuna is king. There are all sorts of sharks including Great Whites.... but don't fish for them or mess with them. Illegal. Not to mention stupid.

Offshore South (30 to 100 miles South of MV and Nantucket): Huge variety!!! Including Blue Marlin, White Marlin and Swordfish... Those are the glory fish. Makos and threshers are the glory sharks. It depends on the year, but Yellowfin is the most numerous tuna. Followed by Long Fin Albacore. Bluefin come through the area enroute to places north and east.... then they return heading south. Big Eye is the glory tuna. Wahoo is a cool by-catch. Mahi is the "bluefish" of southern water... easy and fun to catch.

Inshore: Stripers are King. Cod and the two types of flounder are the bottom fish of choice. Bluefish are fun and a great way to start. "Funny fish" False Albacore and Atlantic Bonito arrive in August and trigger a human fishing frenzy whenever they are around.

If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me. I am happy to share what I know.

Mike
