Njf Gambler Njfishing Sea Bass 2/2
 

WOW What a great trip we had on the NJFISHING.COM Gambler Offshore Sea Bass trip today.

It was great to meet some new great fisherman like Dan, Jay and all the others. It was a pleasure and I hope to fish with you all again. Also good to see you Steve.

Thank you Howie for putting the trip together.

Looks like everyone wound up with their limit. we had some Porgies and Sea Bass as well. Our crew(Jon, Howie, Bill, Chad, Jack and myself had our limit before 9:00 am and fished for Porgies and threw some in the box for those who needed a few more to reach the limit.

The weather was great as well. A little cold but not bad for Feb. Tom was on the money with the Galley and made my day with the pork roll, egg and cheese after boxing 15 jumbos! Thanks Tom.

Thanks again to the Gambler. Good to see Bobby, Mike, Tom and the boys again.

Great fishing and seeing you all. Some Pictures.....

Leif,

Awesome trip! Good to see the fish were still in the mood after the storm this week. Pretty amazing how stacked the off shore wrecks are with jumbo sea bass. Good to see. Thought it would be a little cold out there today but after reeling up a few fish from 200 foot depths you warm up pretty quickly. Anybody jigging them today. Any cod or pollack hit the deck and were there still bluefish out there? From the third picture it looks like the answer regarding bluefish at least is yes. I would think the water is getting a bit cold for their liking but then again when you see reports of weakfish, bonita, bluefish etc. you just never know!?

Way to go guys. Gambler runs a great operation!

I caught most of mine on a hammered diamond jig.

Did the sea gull hit a jig or take bait? Hope you vented it before the release! I've heard many people say that sea bass will not hit jigs on wrecks but will do so on open bottom. I assume that most of these offshore trips are fishing wrecks and if so there seems to be a lot of sea bass taken on jigs. For all the jig experts out there, was wondering what your opinions are. I've heard this from a few very knowledgeable jig guys but was curious what everyone's opinions were.

Nice work guys! Sounds like it was a great trip!!

Great trip with a great group of people. Lots of laughs and of course non-stop ball bustin'.

Thanks to Howie for putting this together.

As far as I know the Sea Gull came aboard of his own free will.
