We got to the boat a little after 6. The first thing I noticed was diffrent from our driftboats was that in NY you pay after you get on the boat. Anyway, we get to our first stop and drop down the chicken rigs with clams that we were given, and instantly start to get hit. On the first stop some nice sea bass were pulled up (nice for a seabass is only a few pounds). I got a little porgie. We get back on the spot and my dad and I get a few keeper seabass.
We bottom fished the clams the whole trip. The next fish I caught was a keeper ling.
My dad also got a silver eel. No pics.
Anyway, we ended up keeping about 10 fish, no big ones, but fun. Here is most of the haul (missing a few seabass)
We kept the fish on ice and had a great dinner. We had 3 of these plates without even using up all the fish
I freshwater fished throuout the trip and got some bass. I also got a pictureworthy bullfrog that ate my mini spoon
It was a fun trip and I got to fish every day
It is pretty neat to see other species from a different states.
