The sea condition was unusually strong current that made the trip wasn't easy. Another problem was we were getting so many jumbo sea bass hits on the baits, so catching tile fish was easy.
Anyhow, we had nice tile fishes for each and everyone. There were some dog fish, but that didn't bother too much, rather too many sea bass.
We will be going out for sea bass trip sometime in the middle of March with special permit. If anyone is interested, then call Mike or email.
I went Cod fishing with “Helen H” at Montauk. It was a little slow day, so I started to try almost all of my jigs. Finally, there was one good jig actually working. The jig is Sea Gator 6 3/4oz. It was hard to believe that it seemed no fish were down there and there were like none caught any on the boat. Using Sea Gator jig, every casts hooked the fish and they were all good keepers 23~25”.
For an hour, I caught a dozen of nice size fishes, and then my party was over… I tried few other jigs, and Hammered Diamond 4 oz hooked few more keepers.
I used only one jig at a time with no teaser. When fish is there but it’s not biting, one small jig works.
If you want to try Sea Gator jigs, then do Yo-Yo jigging. It’s not for squidding.
