Well after a brief break due to weather and wind we finally made it off the dock for a Day of Bottomfishing!!! The Seabass Bite picked up right where it left off.

Only had 3 Guys Today... My good Regular Customers who fished with me many times this year... We were Going fishing!!! Real shame had room for 3 more missed out on another great day of bottomfishing with limits... Forced Myself and Wayne to get involved

Started off with quality seabass flying over the rail... Much better size and ratio from last week... First two drops were good with 60 nice keepers coming up...

Headed to 2 More spots and Continued to have drop n reel action with double and nice size keepers Comin up!!!

Boxed Up a 5 man limit by 1 oclock... Tried a Blackfish drop with crabs... But we couldnt keep the keeper seabass(which we were now releasing) of the hook... Only wound up with 2 keeper blackfish for the day

Instead of going home at 2pm... In true monger fashion we headed into the beach looking for croakers and weakies... and we found them... The weakies were thick... but almost all were short... Out of over 100 we wound up with 18 keepers... caught bunches of double headers too... Bite was as quick as you could get down!!!

So by days end we wound up with 125 keeper seabass, 2 Keeper Blackfish, Couple of porgies, 18 keepers weakies,. 6 Blues, and a few Nice keeper size fluke (Released )

Loads of fun and big sacks o meat!!!

Good day with Great people!!! Back at it tomorrow!!!
