Captain Lawrence and his mate Mike did a great job!  After running out about 35 miles we fished in around 80 feet of water.  The captain started us with trolling.  Mike had all the gear rigged and ready on the way out, displaying some “sea legs” in the process.  Not that we had rough seas but it is the North Atlantic.  He put out about a half dozen baits with a mix of ballyhoo and spoons.  After maybe an hour or so and few small tuna, Captain Lawrence decided to get on the bottom with black sea bass being our main target species.  Also note that both grouper and red snapper were closed to fishing and had to be released if caught.  We actually had to move to avoid the snapper.  However it did give an opportunity for some photos, they are a beautiful fish!  It was a fun day on the water and we returned with a dozen black bass and a mixed bag of grunts, porgies, tuna and a vermillion snapper.  Hope to fish with these guys again!
