Golden Eagle - PHENOMENAL ANNUAL OFFSHORE SEA BASS TRIP

[captainrich]

Our annual OFFSHORE SEA BASS trip got back late yesterday afternoon and it was phenomenal!!!

First, I want to thank my CREW - SCOTT & GREG for really helping in getting this trip rescheduled to Saturday/Sunday. And a special thanks to Steve Boxer who was also super helpful in the rescheduling process. We were fighting the weather and we only had a small window to pull it off and with everyone's cooperation WE DID.

We left as early as we could because I knew the grounds would be crowded and they were, but we got there first which turned into a huge advantage as other boats tried to get on some of spots but couldn't because we had them boxed out. In fact, I could open a tackle store with all the tackle that the Super Hawk customers left in our anchor lines and at times they were no more than 50 feet from us.

When we arrived in the dark and started fishing we were catching some Bluefish and shortly thereafter, the BONITO took over, big fat BONITO. It was sensational BONITO fishing all night and into the daylight, at times there were a dozen or more fish on. Everyone had all the BONITO they wanted, some ended up with up to 40 BONITO apiece!!!!!

Also in the dark, we did catch some BLUES and we picked at some SEA BASS.

Once the sun came up, it got warm & comfortable. And the SEA BASS & PORGIES really turned on. We were able to slide around on the pieces of bottom that we had picked and we ended up with a BOAT LIMIT OF SEA BASS TO 7LBS and released many more!!! And it was all the PORGIES you wanted plus some LING.

Those that LIMITED on the SEA BASS early went back to BONITO fishing and had one on virtually every cast.

IGOR's 7lb SEA BASS won both pools which means he has a lot more money to buy himself some Christmas gifts.

The FOOD was FANTASTIC - everybody contributed to the effort and there was enough food to last a long long long time.

Everyone ate what they wanted and took whatever else they wanted - whatever food was left over (which was considerable) was donated to the local Homeless Shelter.

I want to THANK ALL OF OUR GREAT CUSTOMERS FOR A WONDERFUL 2019 SEASON & I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL NEXT SEASON.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!
