Footlong Scup
We took the ride across from SH to some mussel beds on the NY side.
There was a good fluke bite until the drift died out. That's when I decided to break out some light stuff and spend the time waiting for a drift by dropping down on some marks. Bingo! Get your scup on! I could have filled a bucket with solid 12-14 inchers but only kept enough for dinner. Before the drift came up again, we caught a few sea bass up to 2 lbs. There were no giant flatties but enough 20" fish to keep us happy. I thought it was early for porgies around here but obviously they are here.
