We finally got our trips in this past weekend and saw a mix of action, with Saturday being a better day. Â Reports are below, and pics are in the gallery. Â We'll be focusing on seabass when it opens, bass, bluefish, and tog. Saturday 10/17: Ran our first trip In about a month Saturday looking for bass blues Albies & weakfish. Early on we had good action w 2-4# bluefish on jigs and spinning rods. Once the wind came up that crapped out. Didn't see any bunker... Worked our way back found a few pods of Albies but couldn't get one to bite. Finished up jigging the motherlode of weakfish --- easily boxed our boat limit (boating well over 50 including countless shorts) and had ~25 keepers to 18" (ORL). No bass or Albies but Larry was even able to Bucktail up a few more fluke as well as weakies. Total for the day was about 40 cocktail blues and our 8 weakfish boat limit. Nice trip lotsa bent rods! Sunday 10/18: Stark opposite of yesterday. Nice ocean, lots of bunker, very few fish on them. Couldn't find the "bigger" 2-4# blues that we had on the jigs --- wound up bottom fishing for a bit and found a few porgies and blowfish, also PLENTY of would-be keeper seabass. Jigged up some pee wee sized blues and spike weaks on the way home - and also found some albies again but it was tough to get them to bite with the wind and the speed with which they were moving. Tough day overall! |
