18 Hour Offshore Trip for Giant Black Seabass!! Epic Fishing!! 

Which boat do you go out on?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid! This is actually fairly common on this trips with favorable conditions!

Totally worth it to do at least once. Make sure you are prepared for a trip like this. Need the right rods, reels, leader, weights. Hope you get out there!

I completely agree! The season is starting off good for them now. There is quality and quantity being caught.

Como le fue?

@@TitoAlvarado16 Buena suerte, le deberia ir bien. Creo que el tiempo va a estar muy bueno tambien, disfrute el dia!

The trip averages around 5 hours to and from the fishing grounds.

This was recorded in NJ waters in the winter time when the limit is 15 and the min size was about 13 ". There were no undersized fish kept and we didn't go over the limit.

😂Yea and we usually outfish almost everybody with it! All honesty, the equipment we use is fine, it decent enough that it gets the job done and has lasted me for years. Although I have been trying to break them on recent trips to have an excuse to buy new updated equipment. Until then, if ain't broke don't fix it! Tight lines!😎

Def a cooler with plenty of ice! Don't need fancy pricey setups, just something that will get the job done. Plenty of options that can handle a pound of lead or more and has line capacity to 300 yards of braided line. Bait is supplied free, other equipment is available at the boat for a fee including a rod rental if you don't have one, but I don't recommend the rods they have available. The setup that I mostly used in the video costs around $180 including the price of the braided line.

This was on the Big Jamaica out of Brielle, NJ. Large party boat that does a lot of offshore fishing trips throughout the year!

We had at least three that were at 21 inches long with one a hair over!

This in NJ waters, limit at the time, which was in the fall, was 15 fish per person!

I was cutting their gills to bleed the out. The die faster and the meat looks and tastes better without the blood. It also helps with preservation of the meat if you decide to freeze them.

@@NEFishing thanks for the info. I never knew that. My trip was good except there were too many people. Many of them didn't know how to keep from getting tangled. Got my limit. I'm good

In the spring through summer, I usually use 20-30 lb test. I tie a slightly modified high-low tig but standard high low rigs work fine for me. I use 30 lb braid as my main line. I will switch to 40lb test leader and main line for offshore fishing in the fall and winter. I always bring two s set up with spare rigs tied and ready to go to keep me fishing. Let me know if you want more specific info.

4/0-6/0 octopus hooks work great for seabass and will hold for Cod. With 4/0 octopus hooks you will also catch porgies but if you want more porgies use 2/0-3/0 octopus hooks! I was using 3/0 for the top hook and 5/0 for the bottom. Hope that helps!

It takes about 30 seconds for the bait to hit and about a minute to reel up with a fish! Had to cut a lot of that out in the editing.

You guys that feel the need to film yourselves fishing are as annoying as those Bassmaster shows

150-200 feet of water!

16 ounces is standard on this trips but sometimes more may be required. 16 ounces held fine all day long on this trip.
