Well Capt Monty did it again!
Me and the wife went out on the Morning Star on Sunday the seas were flat as glass on Sunday and Capt Monty took us out...way out....3+ hrs ride out. His gamble paid off and then some. In the middle of the worst sea bass fishing in years, he put us on the best (large fish) sea bass bite that I have ever seen. We went out to an area
called the "Parking Lot", the water was an incredible blue and you could see way down. There was a fleet of about 30 tuna boats around us, man were they suprised to see a headboat out there! 7 sea bass filled our cooler more than half way up (did I say large sea bass!!) I had to take some ice out, and move stuff around. This spring we put 50 really nice sized sea bass in
this same cooler with room to spare. On Sunday we put 25 fish in there and we had to sit on the lid to keep the fish from jumping out. The guys next to us had the same problem. Every year there seems to be one breakout trip, I would venture to say that this was it. Final Count:
1 sea bass at 4.75, 2 around 4.50, 3 sea bass around 4 even. Pool winner went 5.75.
Must have been about 20 - 30 seabass that I saw over 4 pounds around the boat.
The "small" fish were between 2-3 pounds.
Talapia...outa here!
