It's Black Seabass time of the year. A great spring break option. Lots of action and good eats too! And if the ocean doesn't cooperate weather wise, chasing tasty sea mullet can be a backup.

Been pretty cold here but the fish are still biting and it's starting to warm back up. Last few trips have been speckled trout and when we can get out to the jetty's there's black drum and sheepshead to be caught.

On our way to jig up bluefish for bait, we marked a large school of shad. Thinking that would be a good place to start fishing we marked it to come back to once we put some bait in the livewell. After putting a few 4-5 pound bluefish in the livewell we headed towards the bait we had marked. When we got about half a mile from it we started seeing birds working a few hundred yards in front of us. At that time we decided to deploy the bait and start fishing. Before we could get the second rod set, the first one started screaming but sadly didn't get hooked. Thinking it was probably a shark we baited back up and set the rods. Less than 10 minutes later we got the bite we were looking for and an hour and a half later had it tied off beside the boat. The fish was 108 inches long and cored (head, tail, and innards removed) out at 603 pounds.
