Peter, Typically an offshore trolling trip out of Chas. SC involves going to "the ledge". It's avg. about 50 miles one way. Very weather dependant for the smaller boat. I personally carry VHF, EPIRB, GPS, (and a spare of each) full fuel (130), extra oil, first aid, SeaTow, and hopefully enough bait!! I would prefer a buddy boat but always leave word of general area fishing even if alone....and always wear the kill switch while underway. I used to take extra fuel in my Whaler in hard tanks (24 & 24) ready to be plumbed directly to input side of Racor and run out on them first, typically having some left. I understand the collapsible bladders are the ticket but have become too exspensive (manuf. liability I think). Never done an overnight but would like to!!
