Ive taken my 19' boat 28 miles offshore several times, and many other times 18 or less. It all depends on the boat, and how skilled you are as a captain. Pick your days carefully, and know your equipment.

Yessir the fx puts in work 💪🏾
Thanks!
You could probably get one kayak on the skiff and get it out there 15 miles out and get in a kayak around those rigs, that would be an awesome experience.
That would be a blast!!!

what boat is it?
Took my 16ft Sundance out on lake George in Ocala to go swimming at silver Glen Wasn't too bad on my way out. On the way in we had 30 mph gusts, white caps and breaking waves. Definitely gotta pick your day's and check the weather with any trip you make inshore, offshore or big lakes. Was pretty scary having my wife with me.
Ocala can get nasty . Take you’re Sundance out to crystal river . Put in at fort island and be slow lots of rocks oyster bars and sand bars . There’s a few to the left of the ramp and a pretty big sand / grass flat . Depending on when u go u can’t see them . But they are just under the surface. Tones of good fishing and sandy hook is a great sand bar / island to anchor up and swim / party with all the people .
Got caught in lake George a few months ago on the way back from silver glen with 2.5-3 footers it was scary in 17 foot m hull boat
the reason why people dont do it is because the weather can change, fast
Dude! Thanks for this! I have a 20' flats boat that we take offshore to just a couple miles from Wilmington, NC. Been wanting to take it further, just waiting for the right day!
Glad this could help!

I'm from Wilmington too and I've been wating on a good day to take my flats boat offshore I've been wanting to hit the liberty ship wreck
@@SorryNoMilk good luck! Ice been waiting for a couple of months! Lol! But, it's about to get right. We go out there multiple times a year.
@@SorryNoMilk Have a safe and great trip! 💪
What are you fishing out of? Will be selling my 17' soon. Flats 85% 10-20 miles 10%.
What about the last 5% 🤣
What setup are you using? Looks like a Penn reel don't know the rod.
I would like to know as well. Wish they would say in the Video
reel on the first rod is "Penn Spinfisher VI" and the rod on the other one is an "All Star Classic" but i don't know the exact action/length specifications
What are you guys using to make sure the condition are good offshore?
We are watching the weather vigorously, and keeping safety in mind!
when you said 15 miles out on a flats boat, im thinking 22' CS. But wait a minute, it looked to be a 15' . Its all about picking that perfect window.. good on you.

Just because you get flat seas going out to the fishing grounds DOES NOT mean you will get flat seas going back!! I can’t tell you how many times this has been the case for us. A weather forecast is just a highly educated guess. The wind will do what it wants to and if it decides to blow hard while you are 15 miles out on a little flat skiff- well I hope you have an EPRB, radio, and good life jackets.
A person my brother knows was picked up by the Coast Guard he was 15 miles out in a Kayak.....they picked him because he was fishing in the dark and they thought he was nuts....must be out of his mind to be that far out in a kayak in the dark right... dad went out when he was young in 16 foot ski boat but he was more like 40 miles out when the wind came up.....needless to say he never did it again.....but he has a great story to tell......part of being a man taking on challenges that seem crazy and living to tell about it LOL
Bob and Ralph Brown took a flats boat from Tampa to Germany
That is a trip!
