Getting ready for the Fall run!
Getting ready for the Fall run!
Aug 29, 2021 Clinton
The fishing has picked up since the storm. Bottom fishing for reef buster porgies has entertained all crew aboard our charters. Sea bass have been smacking willow jigs and bucktails with teasers in all colors. But more aggressive the jigging the larger the fish!. Find the bait and you'll find the fish. This Sunday we slugged out decent trips to keep everyone entertained despite the chop.

Jigging for Sea Bass- Large Jigs=Big Buc

So we fished a dropping tide over a sand shoal that went form 38-60ft. When we arrived, the birds where beginning to work the rip line on large pockets of bait. My charter for that afternoon was excited because they thought there where bluefish in a blitz. I calmly explained they were seabass. They was very adamant they where blues! So I rigged up rods with bucktails with gulp minnow and strips squid. Set up a rod with a rubber shad and said let it rip. The first cast on a rubber shad was rewarded with a 24inch sea bass! The next two hours we where on fire we had our limits and where releasing 20" plus and could not get the bucktail to the bottom quick enough! Most anglers fishing for seabass fish with a small piece of bait on a hi-lo which produce small mediocre fish. When buck-tailing for seabass- color selection and presentation are key. Also, depth to where the bait is and where fish are located. Just dragging weight on the bottom is not fishing. Your arms should be tired at the end! Black sea bass will hit your jig up to the surface if you present it correctly- after the first hard hit get, more aggressive and play the jig- I can guarantee a second strike and a large bucket mouth!

Only thing that could have made our trip better is more fish. But the caption and crew were patient and had a lot of information...
