Captain Lee was a great skipper. He took us out trying to catch some Spanish mackerel or maybe a king mackerel but the fish had other ideas. We trolled for a while at a couple of places and after no luck, gave up on that and switched to bottom fishing. Resetting the rigs, we noticed that we just barely missed a mackerel when we saw our bait cleanly sliced and were amazed how the fish misses both hooks!

Captain Lee put us over a good spot on the bottom and we used cut squid to try for a pinfish to use as bait. Instead we pulled in tons of black sea bass. Most were too small to keep but we finally got something similar to the pinfish to use as mackerel bait.

We caught a few 12” sea bass but couldn’t keep since the minimum is 13”. We did manage to land one 13 1/2” sea bass to keep but the others had to be returned to the ocean.

At the end, we finally caught a pinfish but it was too late to keep going.

Captain Lee gave us a great trip and we all had fun catching the sea bass. I would highly recommend using Get Hooked Fishing Charters for your next adventure!
