I'm located near Smith point bridge South bay. That area is notoriously shallow and at this point I want to start getting outside of the Bay. I wanted to know if anybody had any input on the first time offshore and maybe a close destination to start with. I've had my boat now 3 years and I'm on it almost every weekend and I'm feeling more confident and want to start venturing further out because the primary reason for getting the boat is fishing. I have a 88 21ft sea ray laguna. I'm also looking to maybe follow a more experienced Captain out.
