Yes to everything Janet said :y: Cheap leggings and a sun proof long sleeved shirt and gloves will save you from the horrors of maximum burning you can get when sitting so close to the mirror effect of the waters surface over summer, add a stowaway style waterproof / windproof rain jacket also.

Sounds like you're on top of it. Just take it easy with the ratchet tie downs! They only need to be snug enough to hold down not so tight that they deform your hull .

This big?

Great reel for the money. Smooth drag helps with knocking them over

Snapper and squid I hope

Stay off craypots. The bouys are private property and the owner(s) could get more than a little peeved.

Standards vary with stated breaking strains. Better to use line thickness as a guide to what you end up with. You may find a thinner braid with a higher " breaking point" or even a thicker braid with less. You might have a damaged guide on the rod you are using that is causing failure of your line o...

UH radios are not Marine VHF . Different frequencies and criteria.
Some VHF channels have repeater stations, weather channels , established ship to shore channels etc.
