Most of our boat limited out on big black sea bass, huge porgies and bluefish. Hope you were able to fill the coolers for your patrons.
I was out Friday on my boat and drove by you guys on that wreck earlier as well as the other one right there. I know Chris got out later and was looking for a spot when I guess he came up on you guys. I can assure you that Serenity Now is not a charter boat, wasn't carrying any patrons and definitely wasn't stealing numbers for that wreck. It's a large, well known wreck that everybody has. Depending on the wind direction you can usually fit 2 boats on there which I'm sure he was looking to do. Friday was tough with not much wind and current from a different direction so we had to keep resetting. There are only a handful of wrecks in that area so if you travel 50-60 miles and there's someone already there you can't really just hop over to another piece like inshore...
