Something a little different today... Our First Special Oct Blackfish Trip and Man was it a good one!!!
Had an ALL STAR CREW today... Joe Jigmafish, Shrimpman Steve, Greg Vongas, Sportsfishingusa Vinny, Tony Lovehislabs and Jim aboard for another great day of fall bottom fishing!!!
Made our first Drop in 32 ft of water... Took about twenty minutes to getem chewing and then it was ON!!!
Pick just got better n better until it was an all out mad dog bite... We had a awesome bite for 2 hours with multiple fish on at once... Most were Nice boxer size fish....More keeper size fish than shorts during the good bite... Became a pick but it was still good fishing!
We had a Mix of some nice seabass and porgies by default we didnt real try much for because the bite was so good...
After Vinny had his fill of togs he put on a porgy rig and puta bunch more porgies, seabass , and a couple of trigger fish in the box!
The Bite finally slowed... but the guys caught alot fish up to then... We bounced around a couple spots and picked afew more nice size ones...
Our last drop the fish turned back on and gave us a GREAT last hour of fishing.
Congrats to Jim who caught around 60 Blackfish today with around 30 being keeper size fish... Joe had his best day of Blackfishing to date! Everyone else caught a lot as well. Vinny managed to sneak in a big weakfish to round out the catch!
We kept track and By days end the guys Caught around 110 KEEPER SIZE BLACKFISH. Everyone kept their 1 fish limit and released all rest for Nov and Dec!!! If you count all the short size fish it was over 200 blackfish in total!
Lots of the fish were in the 3-5lb range with the biggest going 7lbs!!!
The guys also added 26 Seabass, 41 porgies, 2 triggerfish and a weakfish to the cooler as the BYCATCH to fatten up the fillet bags!!!
Even though the couldnt keep em the boys sure had a good time catching and still went home with a Nice size bag o fillets!!!
Great day on the water!!!
Thanks again guys!!!
Give a buzz lets go fishing!!!
