So we fished a dropping tide over a sand shoal that went form 38-60ft. When we arrived, the birds where beginning to work the rip line on large pockets of bait. My charter for that afternoon was excited because they thought there where bluefish in a blitz. I calmly explained they were seabass. They was very adamant they where blues! So I rigged up rods with bucktails with gulp minnow and strips squid. Set up a rod with a rubber shad and said let it rip. The first cast on a rubber shad was rewarded with a 24inch sea bass! The next two hours we where on fire we had our limits and where releasing 20" plus and could not get the bucktail to the bottom quick enough!
Most anglers fishing for seabass fish with a small piece of bait on a hi-lo which produce small mediocre fish. When buck-tailing for seabass- color selection and presentation are key.
Also, depth to where the bait is and where fish are located. Just dragging weight on the bottom is not fishing. Your arms should be tired at the end!
Black sea bass will hit your jig up to the surface if you present it correctly- after the first hard hit get, more aggressive and play the jig- I can guarantee a second strike and a large bucket mouth!
