Default GAMBLER offshore Sea Bass 12/27

We just returned home after a banner sea bass trip.

I'm guessing but we had to be pretty close to a full boat limit.

We made our first stop and the bite was great. Bobby made one wiggle and made one move and that spot was just as good.

There were 2 nice pollack caught and a fat cod. Leif landed a nice monkfish as well.

I had a 94qt cooler and it was filled.
Other guys I knew in the trip were Leif, Jon Devin, his Bro Joel, David Chuah, Torchee, and Jill Johnson. Every cooler I saw was overflowing with huge SB and porgies.

Hopefully someone will post pics.

I'm 99% sure that The Gambler has open spots for the Tuesday trip.

That was a good trip. The porgy were ridiculously sized. I was hoping for a better jig bite as I like jigging for sea bass, but my bro and I put a lot in the box anyway. I finally stopped keeping porgy I had so many of them, all jumbos. Jay took the pool with his pollack. The 4 mate crew filleted all the way to the dock and then some. Tom's burger was awesome. As always, great crew, great time!

...thinking about Tuesday, but I have enough fish and don't like killing them for nothing. Anyone want to fund my excursion and you can have whatever I catch? ;-)

Great trip!

What a bunch of professionals - the fisherman and the crew.

I caught over 30 giant sea bass ORL- then spread the love.
It was wild to see guys release 3lb porgies because they were sick of catching them.


It really sucks that these trips are not an option in January

I was too tired to take pictures.

The Gambler was going right back out again to fish today I believe, hoping they did as well.

Awesome day on the Gambler. Captain and crew were outstanding! The mates were filleting fish way into 9pm last night. Nice fishing with Jon, Leif and Howie. Here is a picture of my Pollock and my cooler.

Way to go Jay. I wish I would have waited a week for my trip on the Gambler. Last week was decent but it sounds like you guys nailed 'em yesterday. How was the ocean yesterday? Last week we had maybe 2 or 3 people never make it out of the cabin with stomach nausea. I always pre-medicate to avoid these things but some of our gang last week were obviously under-medicated.

Couldn't ask for better weather. Smooth ride out. Used 12oz sinkers all day. Great group of guys on board. We all fished hard to the very end. Left them biting. We all had coolers overflowing. Can't ask for a better day....
