8 Hour Black Sea Bass smackdown!

We had another wonderful day out on the water. Ths goal today was to go and target black sea bass before they migrate back north for the summer. Right now some giant black sea bass are hanging out offshore of our coast in the 30-40 mile range. There was a big swell out of the south so it was hard to get any speed going without getting beat up too bad. About 18 knots was all that we could do, so we trudged our way out there. We knew that the ride out would be tough but once we got there everything would be great. After about an hour and a half of riding we made it to the spot. We stopped and caught a few small ones but not what we were looking for. Off we went again, only about five miles this time. Once we arrived I noticed big stacks of fish coming about 10 feet off the bottom. This spot looked much better. We dropped down and made quick work of a 4 person limit of nice sized sea bass. After that we bounced around to a few different spots in that area in hopes of finding a school of vermillion snapper. We found plenty but unfortunately most were too small. We ended up catching a couple keepers before heading home. We also caught a few nice red snapper that we released. (Out of season) All in all it was a great day with tons of action. We were rewarded with a box full of fish and a beautiful ride home. The seabass will stick around for another week or so before they start migrating back north. Give us a call to get out on the water and get in on the action. **hidden content** - Capt. Austin
