Thanks,
Mike.
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.

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.
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.
