Annual Sea Bass Trip - Fishing Forum | Fishing Tackle | Fishing Gear

PADavid · 11-12-2007, 05:56 PM

Open to all Members!

Each and every year since about 1989 I have gone deep sea wreck fishing for Sea Bass in the second or third week of January. Last year I opened up (and organized) this strip to members of a few local fishing web sites. We ended up with 24 anglers who braved the cold for this trip - and we all caught fish!

It is an 18 hour fishing extravaganza - and lots of fun. The boat rents rods and reels (and last year we all shared so no one had to rent one) so do not worry about equipment.

We will leave out or either New Jersey or Delaware at midnight fish from 1st light until late in the afternoon. Target species are Giant Sea Bass, Cod, Pollack and Wolf Fish.

I am looking at January 12, 2008 or January 19, 2008. We leave Friday night and fish all day Saturday. Or Leave Sat. night and fish all day Sunday. Nothing set in stone - but should be one of those weekends.

Mark your calender as time flies while you are waiting to fish!

Just got off the phone with Capt. Scotty of the Bandit V. He will put together a nice trip for us - at least a 12 hour trip (we do not need to do an 18 hr trip becuase he is much closer to the fishing grounds)

We will be fishing on the 53 mile wrecks and rock piles

These are notorious spots for GIANT sea bass and other species.

Bandit V is a brand new boat and super clean - plenty of room to fish, and a great crew, they get the best bait and know what they are doing.

DATE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 2008

TIME: EARLY AM, FIGURE AROUND A 5 AM DEPARTURE

LOCATION: INDIAN RIVER INLET MARINA
Indian River Marina
838 Inlet Road
Indian River, DE 19971

(Use mapquest if you are unsure how to get there)

COST: TBA (should be in the $150.00 range)

Again, just like last year, let me know if you are in ASAP.

You need to mail me a check or money order for the fare

Make the check payable to Bandit V

Wow, sounds like a good trip you have lined up there. I would def. go, but I will be getting back into the states sometime around then, and will be with family.

Hopefully a few members from the site here decide to take you up on this offer, I know I would if I could.

LTJ - I will probably have a spring trip as well - you must show up!

I have a guy coming from Maine and another from VA so we get a really diverse group

FishingLTJ · 11-13-2007, 09:56 AM

Well, if you get me a solid date, I'll see if I can make it. You know I want too, bad!!!! What do you fish for in the spring? Same thing?

PADavid · 11-13-2007, 02:42 PM

Date for Sea Bass is Jan. 13, 2008.

Spring Trips are for Taug - usually in Feb.

Maybe you can come for the Stripers / Drum later in the spring - April or May

I caught enough spiny dogfish last year to last me for awhile.
