Today I had the pleasure of having Frank, Bennie and Rob out for a capt combo trip. Great conditions and even better company with these fisherman. I was scratching my head the night before the trip trying to come up with a game plan for action and some meat in the box. The best bay bite and most consistant seabassing has been about 20 miles from each other. With a full belly of fuel,plenty of tackle options and a run and gun game plan we set off in glass calm conditions. The first flat in the bay had good water, plenty of bait and a few hungry blues. The size could of been a little bit bigger but any hungry fish is nice. The guys played catch and release for a couple hours and enjoyed the site of fish crashing plugs in the skinny water. Next it was off to the wrecks. The plan was to check a few local spots for life and if it was not happening push the throttles down and make the long run north to the area that has been providing more consistent action. Well a good day was even better as the first drop had steady action and a nice mix of 2 lb fish. The guys hammered the weenies and boxed dinner. The guys are now bottomfishing converts. A short stop back in the bay gave some action with short fluke but nothing great...... Great combo action with 20 nice tasty seabass for dinner.
