18 Hour Offshore Trip for Giant Black Seabass!! Epic Fishing!!

[@jorgeposadas1192]

I really enjoyed your video.

[@coachlarry62]

Y’all had a great day on the water wow some nice porgies and seabass

[@NEFishing]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid! This is actually fairly common on this trips with favorable conditions!

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

Sea bass are always fun to catch, and are great eating too. We catch dozens of them both on the inshore and offshore grounds. Aside from their long-range tuna trips (which are like 120 miles out), my local head boat usually goes between 10-20 miles out. We typically use 12oz sinkers, but we've gone as heavy as 18. We use squid and spearing for bait in the summer (when we focus on fluke) and switch over to clams for our fall cod season.

Which boat do you go out on?

[@drodriguez7249]

Wow i just seen this and got excited. I hvnt done a offshore tht far out. Looks like am going this year. Good catch. 🎣🐟🇵🇷

[@NEFishing]

Totally worth it to do at least once. Make sure you are prepared for a trip like this. Need the right rods, reels, leader, weights. Hope you get out there!

[@gradybrowning3976]

Sea bass are one of the best eating fish out there!

[@NEFishing]

I completely agree! The season is starting off good for them now. There is quality and quantity being caught.

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

You guys are always fishing with the Kmart rods😂

[@NEFishing]

😂Yea and we usually outfish almost everybody with it! All honesty, the equipment we use is fine, it decent enough that it gets the job done and has lasted me for years. Although I have been trying to break them on recent trips to have an excuse to buy new updated equipment. Until then, if ain't broke don't fix it! Tight lines!😎

Good video.please send me the link of that boat, really want to make a trip out,I was fishing for sea bass and vermilion red snapper yesterday 2/24/24 in North Carolina

[@anon-e-mouse988]

Definitely a lot of shorts, over limits. Great fishing and we know all the party boats are like this but I probably wouldn’t post the buckets ….

[@NEFishing]

This was recorded in NJ waters in the winter time when the limit is 15 and the min size was about 13 ". There were no undersized fish kept and we didn't go over the limit.

[@Loscasting]

Nice! What was the length of the biggest sea bass caught?

[@NEFishing]

We had at least three that were at 21 inches long with one a hair over!

[@KatfishCriss]

What equipment would you bring on that head boat? Cooler, buckets, bait, lead?? What do they give ya?

[@NEFishing]

Def a cooler with plenty of ice! Don't need fancy pricey setups, just something that will get the job done. Plenty of options that can handle a pound of lead or more and has line capacity to 300 yards of braided line. Bait is supplied free, other equipment is available at the boat for a fee including a rod rental if you don't have one, but I don't recommend the rods they have available. The setup that I mostly used in the video costs around $180 including the price of the braided line.

[@jordanwalker8356]

Lots of nice fish man, what was the charter that you took?

[@NEFishing]

This was on the Big Jamaica out of Brielle, NJ. Large party boat that does a lot of offshore fishing trips throughout the year!

[@Pottofgold123]

Just got off Big Jamaica on Sunday 6/11/2023. The limit is 10. 12.5 length. What were you cutting on the fish with the scissors?

[@NEFishing]

I was cutting their gills to bleed the out. The die faster and the meat looks and tastes better without the blood. It also helps with preservation of the meat if you decide to freeze them.

[@Pottofgold123]

@@NEFishing thanks for the info. I never knew that. My trip was good except there were too many people. Many of them didn't know how to keep from getting tangled. Got my limit. I'm good

[@maximusfiya]

what's your rig setup? Did not limit last time. I think my gear is too heavy.

[@NEFishing]

In the spring through summer, I usually use 20-30 lb test. I tie a slightly modified high-low tig but standard high low rigs work fine for me. I use 30 lb braid as my main line. I will switch to 40lb test leader and main line for offshore fishing in the fall and winter. I always bring two s set up with spare rigs tied and ready to go to keep me fishing. Let me know if you want more specific info.

[@michaelanders6785]

Nice fish. I can’t stand going on big charters like that with a crap ton of fishermen all up in your space. I prefer private

[@illprevail9383]

What rod and reel were you using?

[@레고-i1z]

Nice video! how long was the trip out from the dock? was it more than 4hours?

[@NEFishing]

The trip averages around 5 hours to and from the fishing grounds.

[@dariend6368]

Where are you guy's fishing, limit is 3fish per guy, per day over here

[@NEFishing]

This in NJ waters, limit at the time, which was in the fall, was 15 fish per person!

[@letsgomets002]

​@@NEFishing looks like you went over the limit😅

[@fordiffa7012]

What size hook did u use ?

[@NEFishing]

4/0-6/0 octopus hooks work great for seabass and will hold for Cod. With 4/0 octopus hooks you will also catch porgies but if you want more porgies use 2/0-3/0 octopus hooks! I was using 3/0 for the top hook and 5/0 for the bottom. Hope that helps!

[@dmiller1424]

About how deep were you guys fishing?

[@NEFishing]

150-200 feet of water!

[@fordiffa7012]

Hi how long does it take you to reel a fish ?

[@NEFishing]

It takes about 30 seconds for the bait to hit and about a minute to reel up with a fish! Had to cut a lot of that out in the editing.

[@jasonchappina8319]

You guys that feel the need to film yourselves fishing are as annoying as those Bassmaster shows

[@vitaignis5594]

How many ounces to hold?

[@NEFishing]

16 ounces is standard on this trips but sometimes more may be required. 16 ounces held fine all day long on this trip.
