We are young and especially dumb. So I'm hoping we don't let our egos talk each other up into something we can't handle.
Hopefully I am making it seem like we are trying to be smart about this and it doesn't sound like we are a butch of dumb wahoos.
We all know. No one is having fun in 6-7 footers

Don't know much about spinning rods.
Also make sure your boatdriver learns his electronics, radar, flir, sonar. How to navigate at the dock when the tide/wind is moving the boat. Learn how to stay on/off the throttles and use the trim tabs in bigger seas, and chasing fish.
Anchoring on reefs it's good to use a marker buoy then stop next to it to see how you're drifting and where to anchor up current.
Learn how to throw a larger cast net and use sabiki rigs to make bait.
Go over to Venice LA on a tuna/marlin trip on a similar size boat, they fish floaters, rips, etc..

We spent about twenty minutes catching cigar minnows at the inlet in destin catching on sibikis. We both got four full sibikis rig caught before I think we ran over them and made them drop in the water column. Love and learn.
I think it might have been blind luck we just found the huge school of bait hitting the surface but we caught a good amount of bait. From everything I've read that seems like a part of the trip that can definitely make or break a trip so we really need to be able to get consistent with it.

Currently drowning in information on how to rig outriggers well.

Look up Capt. Delynn on the Pensacola Fishing Forum, he will Capt. your boat. I know it seems like alot of money to pay a guy for a day, but in the long run it will save you thousands of dollars of lessons learned as opposed to what he can teach you in a day of fishing. First thing to worry about is saftey gear, don't consider fishing offshore without all necessary gear and more. As far as fishing gear goes, don't invest a ton up front, as you learn more about what you are doing your fishing styles and gear will evolve with you. A good start is the Gosa 8000's on Terez rods, they are a good all around outfit that can catch beeliners or 70 lb. yellowfins. You don't need 50's to catch tuna until you start getting into some real slobs. I will be staying in Destin the week of Sept. 2nd and will be fishing the edge, nipple area some if you want to buddy boat.

You guys have no idea how bad I wish I knew what you were talking about.

You have no idea how little I know what I'm talking about. This is trial by fire. We weren't expecting to be given the opportunity to use a boat of this caliber for some time
