Capt JR reports a decent start to the 2023 local black fish/sea bass trips. We had a pick of quality blackfish for the beginning of trip with a few nice sea bass mixed in. We moved a little farther offshore and found better sea bass fishing with some real jumbos coming over the rail. All around a good start to the fall fishing.  The SeaBass pool winner went to Francis Daskalakis from New York with a 5.4 lb SeaBass. The Black fish pool winner went to Donald Wetzel from New Jersey with a 4.8 lb Black Fish.  Our next Black fish and SeaBass trip will be sailing on Wednesday, October 25th at 5am.
