This report’s coming in a little late due to technical (website) difficulties, Rick and I went out May 16, the Saturday after the opening of Sea Bass. We were about 10 miles off Atlantic City on a wreck. Rick was anxious to put his new Garmin Trolling Motor to work and after about a half hour of figuring things out, we found the fish and spot locked on them. It was nonstop action of Sea Bass with a lot of nice fish. Also in a mix were several nice size Ling, two Atlantic Cod and probably a good 10 Blackfish as well.
After boating 19 keepers between us, we ran out of clam! So, after looking on the floor, we scraped all the little bits of clam bits we could find. We got enough to bait up one hook, hoping to catch that last keeper. Sure enough, we got the last one 15 1/2″ …our biggest of the day was 16 1/2″ but we had a lot of nice fish in the 15-16″range. It was a great day fishing and a good first run for his new Trolling Motor!!
