Posted on December 12, 2021 Offshore sea bass close to a sure thing If the boats can get out to the far offshore wrecks, big catches of giant sea bass and porgies appear to be a sure thing. The Golden Eagle from Belmar made one of their trips by reservation this week and had a boat limit of sea bass while switching to catch and release by 8 a.m. Anglers also had all the porgies they wanted plus a few blues, a pollock and weakfish — and a couple of barrelfish — a species usually only caught while tilefishing. The Jamaica from Brielle has also been loading up on those trips which should continue to produce all month. The Monday forecast is for west winds at 15-20 knots with gusts to 25.
