The 2022 Black Seabass and Scup Season will officially open Saturday! The bag limit has been set to 4 fish/person at a size of 16" this year. We suggest holding out for much bigger fish. Today's trip was strictly a catch-and-release excursion but it gave us a great opportunity to scout around for the larger schools of fish. We caught a lot of shorts but most of the fish were in the 16-18" range with some monsters in the 2-3 lb. range. Black Seabass make a perfect 4-hour trip whether morning or afternoon. We can always throw in a couple of large Porgies (Scup) into the bucket too. There's a limit of 50/per person for charter boats. The Tautog bite has been really hot too. Don't wait, book your trip now for the best Black Seabass fishing of the season.
