Jamaica II

Capt. Joe said the Jamaica II found sea bass early in the day on Monday, though the bite slowed through the afternoon. Porgies added some variety to the catch. Tuesday saw more porgies showing up while anglers searched for sea bass. Strong currents made getting the fish to the boat a bit more challenging, but some anglers still managed to put fish in the cooler. Wednesday started with decent porgy action and a few quality sea bass mixed in before the bite gradually tapered to a pick. The afternoon proved slow, with few bites despite fish still marking beneath the boat. Thursday's fishing was slower than earlier in the week, while Saturday brought a decent morning bite for both sea bass and porgies. As had been the trend throughout the week, afternoon action remained sluggish.

Capt. Joe said the Jamaica II started the week strong, putting anglers on a solid sea bass bite with plenty of action around the boat. “Nice to be back out fishing again,” he said, noting that there were “quite a few limits around the boat.” A few hefty porgies also joined the mix. The crew continued to put anglers on fish throughout the week, with several fishermen managing to box their limits. The bite did require some moving around, as the crew bounced between spots to find areas holding consistent life. Unfortunately, deteriorating weather toward the end of the week made things tougher, with only a handful of bites to show for their efforts.
