Reel Class Saturday 6/6 Seabass Limits +
Had Jon Frankel charter the boat yesterday - 5 man crew. Guys wanted seabass we obliged.
Started out fishing somewhat locally, and had a slow pick with mixed sized seabass. Made a few wiggles, kept picking - all on the drift, we had no conditions to anchor. Finally found more, where we were picking 5-10 each drift with loads of shorts, and also had a keeper cod and pollock - but that seemed to dry up as the wind started to blow a bit.
Ran offshore a few more miles, and found even better fishing. Loads of seabass, lots of keepers and a good amount of shorts were on a couple of pieces we fished here. Once we got set up on the hook the guys went to work and cleaned up - banging out their limits in no time and then finishing off the entire 7 man's crew just after lunch time. Lots of nice quality seabass, and also LOADS of shorts - had many double headers...
Called it quits just after lunchtime and took a slow ride home. Finished the day with a boat limit of seabass (105), 1 pollock, 1 cod, and (shockingly) only 1 ling - we also had about a half dozen chunky blackfish which went back unharmed. Biggest seabass was about 3# (most K's were in that 14-16" range) and the cod and pollock were both ~22". Mike was high hook with almost 30 keepers, Jon and Chris were just behind him.
We also released quite a few seabass in the 12.5"-13" range that were on the "small" side (ones with super long tails) - if I had to guess we had well over 300 fish and easily released another couple dozen that we could've kept but they were released unharmed.
An excellent day of seabass fishing with a great crew!!
