Today was our last day in keyport so we decided to try for some bay bass one more time before moving to our new home in Shark River.
My dad, his friend and I left keyport nice and early to see if we can troll up some bass. Trolled from the 28can in the reach up to 14 with 1 bass around 25 pounds. We pulled in the spoons and ran south to some rough bottom. Anchored up, dropped crabs and it was game on. Kept our limit to 19 inches releasing the rest. We had a couple of real nice fish in the 7-8 pound range along with some shorts but the average fish were solid 3-4 pounders. It was drop and reel fishing until around 1130 when the wind and current decided to shut down. We broke off a couple of hogs that we will be back on the hunt for tomorrow. On a side note, couple guys at the dock had some BIG bass that they were filleting. From the looks of it, fall fishing is in full swing.
Plus, does anyone know where I may be able to purchase a FULL BUSHEL of white or green crabs? Getting annoyed at some bait shops saying they will sell me a bushel over the phone but when i show up at the shop they make up some bullshit story and try to make me buy them by the dozen. Shoot me a PM if you can help.
