Shaina and her trophy sea bass!
On Thursday's open boat trip I had an interesting bunch of "mostly first-timers" (except for Tom and Ralph). There was Josh and Armin from MFCC and then Gary V. with daughter Shaina who stole the show for the day with the biggest sea bass I've seen in a few years (see above-the pictures don't do justice).
The thing taped out at a little over 25 inches and I told her that a guy on my boat won the Massachusetts Saltwater Derby "Catch and Release" Division with a 24 incher last year. "Let it go" she said!
After a few very quick pictures, that is what we did and the big biscuit swam away happy and healthy.
On Friday there was Matt S. the guitar builder with his friends out for sea bass limits by 930, then we went for bluefish and had quite a bit of activity before we went into the river for stripers, taking a slot.
Saturday was with Carlos and friends who found a new spot loaded with sea bass for a pretty quick limit of jumbos before hitting the river for a few nice slot bass.
