Hi all,
I will be doing lots of fishing in the Adriatic sea. I have a small zodiac
and will be going out with it. What should I get in terms of rod and
tackle?

Any advice is welcome,
Thx

Depends what you are going for and where you will be? - Here are some
of the fish around according to a Croation website
http://www.magicyachting.com/biggamefishing.asp which may give you an
idea of what tackle to go for.

All I have is a 3.10m zodiac rib with a 15hp engine. I won't be going for
monsters unfortunately.
I guess the biggers thing I can hope for is a 2 kg fish...

What should I go for?
I know nothing about rods or tackle...

Thanks

someone suggested a Shakespeare Ugly Stick Gold 61/2' 20-30lb at
£47-00 and a Mitchell Riptide 4/0 reel at £52-99,
any thoughts?

I think you'll find that that setup will be to heavy for out there. I'd
either wait until you get out there or pack a cheap light rod and fixed
spool reel. Have a look at http://www.askari-fishing.co.uk/ there's a good
choice of cheap rods here.
