Friday 10/12 we had Joe Urso and the boys out for seabass. Made out way to the grounds, but another day of keeping us inshore. We opted to go for some porgies. Hit a couple spots and it wasn't too great, fish being picky with baits. Caught some porgies and the guys wanted to try for seabass. North wind honking at least 25-30knots. Went off a bit but to takers, hit another bunch of spots with only a couple keepers. The guys called it quits and we headed in. Way to stick it out as long as you did, thanks guys. Ended with a basket of porgies(about 40 or so) a couple seabass and a trigger.
Saturday 10/13 we had Hanz, Bob, Louis and the "Pa Boys" out for seabass. Headed out at 6:15am to be greeted with 4-7ft nasty chop. We waited it out in the river till about 8:15, it was just too rough out. Finally left and started our way on some chop. Ended up to be a beautiful ocean by 10am. Figured we would start with porgies to at least fill a basket if the seabass didn't cooperate, so we did. Off to seabass. Went right to a dump that's always good, only taking 1 keeper!!! Uh ohh. Went back to the area we kinda were and it was drop and reel seabass for a few. Nice fish coming over the rail. Fish would ONLY bite on the drift. Wind changed and made it very tough to stay on them, power drifting for hours. Drift a spot, get bites like hell, drop the anchor, not a scratch. By days end we ended up with roughly 60-70 porgies, some nice jumbos and just over 50 nice seabass. Thanks guys.
