Porgy trip today

[porgylber]

Hoping to avoid the mass crush tomorrow with Sea Bass opening, I got out on a non crowded non sponsor boat today for porgies.
After nearly a 2 hour sail, we stopped and for the first hour or so, it was game on. Double headers and large humpbacks coming up. I’m thinking…what a nice day to end my porgy season.
Then like magic, the action literally stopped, almost cold dead, with a pick for the rest of the day.
Last night, I guaranteed Mrs. Porgylber that I would pull in keeper sea bass, since the season hasn’t started. Well……..I landed 3 (tossed back), then wham. Definitely wasn’t a porgy. Didn’t even feel or fight like a sea bass. Except it was. A beautiful female…that measured out at 19.5 inches. And thick! Easily over 5 lbs. Maybe over 6!
Before returning her, I gave her a kiss. Told her to make more babies….and we shall meet again! Arghhhhh!!!
