Had Bill B take the boat for the day with his son Liam and friend Mike, and we filled the charter with Bill H and Pete. Plan was to bottom fish all day.
Ran out to our NE where we've been doing good with the seabass. No current or wind to speak of so we had to drift. Picked a few here and there but fishing was VERY slow. Left there with only a dozen keepers and took a long ride up north where some ling were being caught.
Fishing in 60' depths we had a slow pick of seabass and ling with an occasional fluke in the mix on the hook. We also had a "red hot" pick of giant silver eels, landing a total of 12 snakes to about 4' long LOL
Once that "dried" up we went prospecting, fishing a little shallower and as deep as 90' and picked a few ling and seabass everywhere we went. No great shakes though.
Finished up where we started on the hook with the S wind and seas building and had a few nice flurries of seabass to finish up.
We wound up with around 70 keeper seabass and 20 ling, and 1 keeper fluke for the day. Biggest seabass was taken by Liam which was around 3.5#. A good day, but it was a real grind but at least we got the guys some meat!
