Fall Black Sea Bass Fishing

10/12/24 - Trevor and I went out on his boat. We started at 6:30am, went through the inlet and headed about three miles offshore a few miles north of the inlet. There was a stout West Wind blowing and it was getting pretty rough out there with whitecaps and stacked 3 footers starting to build up.
We headed back in to shore and went further North to a known rockpile close to shore in hopes of getting some Sea Bass.
We ended up catching a few Sea Bass (4 keepers) along with some Weakfish, Bluefish, Porgies, Dogfish and even a Fluke!
We then trolled some Mojo Rigs for an hour to see if we could get an early striped bass with negative results.

Always great to get out!

Yes it is!

Is it true you are supposed to measure black sea bass from the fork inside of the tail instead of the elongated fins?

@@MAX99999 I know you don't use the long tendrils. I believe you use the majority of the tail not including the long strings.
