Voyager Saturday
Started fishing very early in the dark. I had a slow pick of biscuits and a good shot of porgies. Guys using a very low hook on a long leader (think blackfish rig) were doing better. Then the sun came up. Game on. By 8:30 AM the boat was limited on biscuits and porgies.
I saw one double header of a 30+ pollock and a big biscuit. Back at the dock at 2 PM. Great trip.

Re: Voyager Saturday
One other thought, I started with a small pink squid (B2B type) as a teaser. I was losing a lot of baits to porgies with the teaser. I went to a naked hook and had fewer porgy bites and more Cbass hookups.

Re: Voyager Saturday
on Friday I was using 4" curly tail grubs for seabass and the porgies attacked them instead. every time I came up they were tailless so I went bare with just Clams. The porgies were so aggressive I went up to a 7/0 hooks and was still catching them.
best bet is 5/0 -6/0 hook witha large clam piece, let the porgies peck till you get the seabass thump.. for the porgies a 2/0 with a small pc of clam and set the hook.

Re: Voyager Saturday
I was also on the Saturday Voyager trip with my son (biggamefisherman1000).
I always though the Costco Igloo 110 qt was a good Christmas gifts but wasn't practical. We both filled it to the top with black fish, porgy and had a bucket for the big cusk that was caught. Truly an epic trip! Should be spending a lot of time today in vacuum packing.

Re: Voyager Saturday
The trip was marred by one event. Someone that was seasick hurled in the head and broke one of the most sacred of sea laws: hurl over the side (downwind). If you are going on an overnight, offshore trip in February you should have had enough experience to know you never barf in the head. And, if you do, you clean it up. How is it possible that someone on a trip like this has not learned this basic rule of fishing etiquette?
