The Mecca - July 17 bottom fish beat down
Wiggled away from the family for a day to fish out in Montauk on my dads boat yesterday. We departed from the dock at 445 am setting a course for the cod grounds. We arrived to near still, hot conditions.
Most of us dropped jigs. 2 guys fished clams. We quickly learned it'd be a bait day as they just weren't responding to jigs at all. 6 of us blew through a bushel and a half of fresh clams decking over well over 60 fish to 20 lbs keeping our limit. We also put about 30-35 big tasty bergalls, a few Ling and a couple of nice sea bass. We trolled on the way home with the hopes of tagging the reported bfts in the area but only got whacked by 2 huge blues that demolished two bally/Joe schute combos. Highlight of the trip was the huge Atlantic halibut we caught while cod fishing. It was nearly 30 lbs. At first glance we thought we had a world record fluke but the tail was a dead giveaway. We also caught a small wolf fish. Pretty wild getting those species this far south! Lots of tasty filets in the cooler and exhausted fisherman.

Turned it into this. Ridiculous...olive oil, garlic, basil, white wine, and coarse stone ground mustard. Marinate 30 min. Pan sear one side hard. Flip and finish in oven at 375. Served with ratatouille. Available for hire in the kitchen if u know anyone lol...
