We had two offshore seabass trips this past weekend. The first trip we had many limits of jumbo seabass and a few ling. There were a couple of fish that were close for the pool so the two pool contenders decided to weigh their fish at our tackle shop, Fishermen's Supply, when we got back to the dock. The fish were weighed on a certified digital scale and topped out 6lb. 12oz with the other fish being about 1.5oz less. Both were really jumbo seabass. The second trip we fished a different area and found a mix of giant porgies up to 3lbs. and seabass over six pounds. We also had a few dozen ling and even a blackfish.
Many people had limits of seabass and could easily have had limits of porgies if they used smaller hooks. The pool winner was Charlie DeHart of Staten Island with a 6lb 8oz. seabass. The Voyager will be sailing offshore every Saturday morning at 1:00am (boarding at 11:30pm Friday night) through January and maybe February if the fishing holds up. We still have some spots available on our January 6th trip. If you are interested please call our office at 732-295-3019. I will try to attach some pictures as soon as I figure out how to make the resolution/size small enough to be acceptable for this site.
