Had Gary Decker charter the boat with his dad, buddies Cap, Tino, James, and Andy. Today also happened to be Gary's birthday!
The plan was to mix it up; try to jig some blues first thing, do some fluking, then switch over to seabass. Upon leaving the inlet we had some birds working on some awesome marks, so we put the jigs in but found no takers whatsoever.
We then fished some snags and hills to the S and E for fluke. We had a very good bite going first thing with loads of shorts, 3-5 on at a time, with some nicer ones mixed in. That bite pretty much dried up though by 1030 AM so we switched over to seabassin'. We made a few drops on some snags and caught loads of shorts, with some nice keepers mixed in as well as a few blackfish, with one of those going in the box @ 15".
We ran all over, and pieced a catch together. We called it a day at 230 with around 20 seabass in the box, a couple of fluke, and a keeper tog. The guys were a blast as usual and we will be seeing them in the fall for a bass trip.
