Default Catch/Cook Seabass

Took a last minute charter with Joey Tomatoes last week, very fun day of fishing...experimented with different jigs, they were turning on and off throughout the trip.

Here's a video of the fishing and then the cooking, a classic Cantonese steamed seabass.

Love your Cooking & Fishing vids Roger. What a beautiful calm day you had. Using 3/4 oz jigs in 70+' water is the way to go - and you don't go home smelling like a Clam

Thanks Larry! Yes, it's a very clean, fun fishing with jigs...the only downside is I just ordered half a dozen more blade jigs from Japan, for my once-a-year seabass trip lol

Nice report and glad you caught enough to cook
So I am just curious as from your posts I know you rationalize NOAA science assessments of fish stocks/ biomass as accurate. Do you think Seabass is rebuilt based on your experience on the water. Sure appears there are a lot of biomass seabass and recruitment out there.

LOL yeah I didn't see that one coming

I try not to draw firm conclusions based on my own fishing trips, or the impression of other anglers. That's no way to approach statistical data. We didn't limit the boat that day, not for lack of trying...but that doesn't tell me anything about the state of the biomass or recruitment either way. I'm perfectly content with 10 SB per person @12.5", and yes, I accept (no rationalizing here) the best available fisheries science.

Thank you for watching the video!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Cooking Sea Bass whole or at least leaving the skin on is really the way to go. I know removing scales can be a PIA, but it's definitely worth the extra effort.

Thanks and I agree, and simple is best.

Scaled/gutted on the grill with plenty of salt...finish with lemon juice/good olive oil...is my second favorite way to cook seabass!

Roger - nice job. Just subscribed to your YouTube channel. I'm going to try your stir fry lobster recipe with blue crabs first chance I get. (Think that will work well?)

I'm interested in the jigs you used - and apparently ordered more from Japan. Can I get in on that order? Perhaps if you got too many I could buy some off you? or - does anyone know where I can order these blade style seabass jigs? Also what size and weight should we be looking for when fishing for seabass in 50-70 ft of water?

Thanks again!

The crab will work for sure, good luck!

I ordered the blade jigs from Japanese sellers on ebay. The ones I used were a gift from my cousin who bought them in Tokyo. Google "Coreman Iron Plate" and "Ima Koume 90" and you'll find places to buy them from.

The jig I used was around 3/4 oz, hardly any current out there to speak of and as long as you cast up current it'll get down 75 ft easily, esp on anchor. Thanks for watching my video!
