We had a minor repair to do today. Since it was a five minute job that gave us a shot at giving it a go on a late day run. Fog was thick but doable. It’s kind of nice in the fog we could set a game plan and not get sucked into a fleet that might be doing or not. We set the spread and braved a cold misty rain. Wham! White mojo bowed up and the way the drag was dumping it was a good fish. Louie worked it the way it needed to be worked. Few minutes later 36” fish hit the well.

Next up was the green mojo for my shot. The drag gave an extra long dump and gaining line was tough. I could feel the drag as maxed to the line strength. Louie netted my 37” fish and walked away. “ Hey! Where ya going? You didn’t net the other one!”
“ You got 2? “
“Yup and the second one is a pig!” The 45” throw back stayed aboard just long enough for a quick pic… Limited in short order we pointed at the dock and all was good. I’ve doubled before but not with twin cows in that class… ?

Joe and his pals put the muscle to the meat! What started out on the slow side turned into a non stop beat down of keeper to full on slob class bass!

Yesterday was a double half day. Slick calm, too calm had us bouncing around looking for a drift and fish. Some spots sea robins and sharks. Some with shorts and a few with quality keepers. We pieced together a good haul for Brian and his group that came from far and wide.
Trip two was windy. Almost too much. The fish from morning moved and we had to start fresh. We got into a solid bite of 17 1/2 “ fish. We did manage keepers but it was hard and frustrating. Added shark and robins to supplement the meat stack... Orlando and his boy can’t wait to do it again ?

Today for most of it,was far calmer and fish freindly than yesterday.Our group came with food and drinks for a small army and with game faces on we slid to the abyss.Ding ding.The bass didn't disappoint.They got their limit of nice fish with a lot of 14-17" fish in the mix.Great group!

Early start got is to the sea bass grounds pretty quick in front of steadily building wind.Fish were more sluggish than usual.I'm guessing maybe 120 to150 fish came to the boat to produce 21 keepers sea bass 2 bluefish for shark bait and a dandy fluke of about 4-5 pounds.Great guests and looking forward to their return!
