Bites occurred the instant your bait hit the bottom and some real nice sea bass and dinner plate sized porgies came up in the dark. I was surprised the bass were running that strong in the dark, but that was probably a blessing in disguise as the wind started to howl by 11:00 when we headed in with pretty much a consensus boat limit of sea bass and plenty of those porgies to top off the coolers. Nary a trash fish to speak of either. I've had a very fortunate string of good sea bass trips these last two months. Went 3 for 3 with no weather-outages. Finishing off on the Big J in style, I slept good on the way in in my sleeping bag down below. That is definitely the way to fly on this boat, nice heated bunk space in the dark!   |
I'm glad you had a successful trip! Good going!
