Sea-bass trip 6/5/22

     
        Some days…… Ziggy and his pals arrived early. We headed to one of our favorite spots . Bite was crisp but keepers evasive. We decided to make a 10 mile move. Along the way was the most disgraceful patch of water jammed with garbage and plastic. I dodged all I could then we bogged all the way down! Unable to clear the unknown mess we limped back toward shore. Our tow operator and diver didn’t answer the phone. All the marinas with haul out capability were closed. We tucked in behind the hook and Lou went in for a look. We had hit a ghost drift net!!!!!
Long time to cut the monster pile of trash then once clear we shot back out. I’d conservatively say we sorted through a couple to few hundred sea bass to get 25 keepers. At least they were good sized. Clients were pleased with all the action and “enough meat” . Nice to salvage the trip ?
