When trolling was unsuccessful we switched to bottom fishing which was much better. We didn't catch any prize winners but we were reeling in black sea bass left and right, sometimes 2 at a time, and got a few keepers. The captain would move when they quit biting to get us back on the fish. Mike, our first mate, was hard working, really helpful, and nice to chat with. He baited our hooks fast when needed, unhooked our fish, and got us fishing as much as possible. It was a nice big, very clean, boat with comfortable seating and a toilet. We were early (in case we got lost) and they were ready and waiting for us and got us out quickly, which was great! We headed to Crab catchers right next door (Mike recommended) and they cooked up the bass we caught, which was awesome. Oh yea, and we saw a 10 ft great white shark swimming right next to the boat which was the highlight!! So keep your eyes peeled so you dont miss something awesome.
