Headed out Memorial Day with John and Arty to our last successful sea bass spot. Took a few tries to get on the pile good, but once we did it was an absolute beat down with most fish being over 13" and a handful 16-19" fish! 50/50 jigs and bait rigs, it didn't matter.
We 3 man limited out early around 9:30 and just catch and released for about 30 minutes to use up the bait and then headed back in to fluke fish.
We were excited to get our first fluking in, but weren't sure what to expect...we were pleasantly surprised! We had a decent pick of fluke for a few hours, catching about 30 between the 3 of us including 4 real nice keepers! smallest keeper was 21" and John put a real nice slab 26.5" beasty in the boat to cap it off!!
sorry guys, no wonder rigs were harmed in the making of this fluking report haha. all regular bucktail/high teaser rigs.
The fluke seemed to prefer chartreuse or yellow/green color bucktails and teasers with squid.
I also managed to bucktail hook a strange looking fish i'd never seen before...it's either a spotted hake or a banded rudderfish :rolleyes: HAHAHA
