FRIDAY 2-17-06: Todays charter couldn't make it due to some unexpected
problems so Capt Chris and I headed offshore for a little quality time between
us before the charter season kicks off full time. We were in the chase for some
Black Sea Bass. We found them in small schools and we had to hit them hard and
fast, here's why!! SHARKS, SHARKS, and more SHARKS. Yes, sharks, it looks as
though the spiney dog sharks have made an earlier than normal apperance. If you
are in the market to catch sharks, now is the time to book a trip and we will
show you how to (most likely) catch all the sharks you will want to catch. At
one time today, we were catching sharks two at a time, on one rod!!!!! We would
get on a school of Black Sea Bass and I was watching the color scope and would
tell Capt Chris when the sharks would move in. By doing this, we were able to
focus more on the bass than the sharks. But we still probably boated somewhere
in the neighborhood of fifty sharks today, and some we could not turn or stop
before they broke the line!!! Well, the last rock we stopped on was the best!!!
I was using a double drop rig and Capt Chris had on three hooks. Five at a time
the Black Sea Bass came into the boat, and before the sharks had a chance to
move in we had limited out on Sea Bass. They were mixed in size, we didn't get
any of the jumbos like you get sometimes, but we had several two pounds plus
with most in the 1 to 11/2 pound range. We had Black Sea Bass coming in the boat
so fast at one time that all 'Private Bodie' the fish dog could do was just
stand and look, he didn't have a clue as to which one he needed to pounce on!!!!
I know it's February, but the fishing is great when you can get a pretty day to
get out on the water, and today was a beautiful day, light winds, warm
temperature, and almost calm seas, 2 ft. or less!! Yes, you want sharks, we
got'em, You want Black Sea Bass, we got'em. You want bottom fish in general, we
got'em. Have not heard of where or looked for the King Mackeral. I am sure they
are out there somewhere, but too much other stuff is biting right now to mess
with them yet!! If you can get away to do some fishing, come on down, and you
can find the fish starting about 10 miles out and beyond. If I can help you in
any way, call or email, I will be glad to help you if I can!!! CHECK OUT THE
PICTURES ON MY SITE!!!Till next time, FISH ON!!! Capt Butch Foster, Capt Chris
Foster,and 'Private Bodie' the fish dog says hi!!!!. YEAH RIGHT SPORTFISHING
