Black Sea Bass & Tile Fish Combo - Fishing Report – Feb 26, 2009

It was so nice spring day and all day long non stop action. The condition was in 60 degrees, no wind, and no strong current. We went out with 27 people. About 290 blue line tile fish and every one limit out for Black sea bass. We fished about 320 feet deep. I jigged all day with 5 1/2 oz. Stainless jig with Gulp alive and squid strips.

I thought Tile Fish was not really good for the jigging, but I had 9 Tile fish and 25 sea bass by jigging. I tried yo-yo jigging and squidding. Either way worked for tile fish.
That was a rare day in a year with that kind beautiful weather and all day fish action.

We enjoy very much. Thank You to everyone.

Black Sea Bass - Fishing Report – Feb 16, 2009

We were planning to go for tile fish & sea bass combo trip, but when we saw the captain, he wanted to change to just sea bass, because of the weather condition.
The first spot, about 360 feet deep, there was good action for first two hours and caught few tile fish and a very unusually look fish. I’ve never seen something like it. It weighs about 8 lb, big eye, and dark red color. Anyone know what this is let me know that I’m very curious about this. (Including picture of the red fish with others)
Back to fishing report, few people got their limit for sea bass average about 20 sea bass.

Next trip is on coming Monday, Feb 23, 2009, and same tile fish & sea bass. If you are interested, contact me via email, reply, or call me.

Thank you,
Mike.

Black Sea Bass - Fishing Report – Feb 6 & Feb 10, 2009

Charter to Atlantic Star, Wildwood, N.J.

Weather was so cold, but sea condition was good.  Last few weeks, there were so many cold days that water temperature would be too cold, so fish action was too soft maybe. Anyhow, Bruce Matner had pool with 15 lb Cod Fish and he had his limit.

On Feb 10, I tried another trip to same boat as open boat with about 40 others. Weather was nice. For first hour, I caught 14 fishes and won the pool with 5 ½ lb fish by 5 1/2 oz. stainless steel jig with gulp alive. I heard some news from commercial fisherman that about 300-400 feet deep down in the water hold a lot of big sea bass. 

Next trip will be tile fish and sea bass combo.

It will be either Feb 16 or 17. It depends by the weather.

Black Sea Bass - Fishing Report – Jan 30, 2009

We were fishing on same boat (Atlantic Star) in wild wood, New Jersey. It was warm and very calm day. Sometimes, when the weather is too good, fish action is little too soft. Some people did jigging all day. They had no problem for their limits. Like Kil Song, he had good day with a lot of big fish and few others. Pool winner was Young Park from Woodside, NY and second place was only 1-2 oz off.  Around 10 fishes were almost the size. We were fishing same area  with Doris Mae and Norstar and few other boats. After the trip, I heard from some of my customers from 5 people group fishing by Doris Mae and they only caught 3 fishes for 5 people.  To catch more fishes, I believe jigging is the answer and good exercise for winter months.
