Teach me offshore fishing.

[FF_T_Warren]

I am looking to get into offshore fishing over the next few years. I grew up speck and red fishing. I would like to get into offshore in the next few years but don't have much experience on how to rig the tackle and just general offshore information. Is there any books or reading material that y'all suggest on how to rig and general ideas about baits and things like that to help me get started? I'd like to start fishing close rigs going after grouper, snapper, Cobia, AJ, etc. then eventually possibly start going farther out for tuna and mahi. Any suggestions that you guys can point me to so I can at least have a good reference base of at least rigging my poles and tackle
