The Healthy Grin and crew did some wreck fishing February 9th. It was a beautiful calm day with an easy run in and out.
We caught a 6-person limit of sea bass. We also caught a lot of small bluefish, one weighed in at 18 pounds. We caught a couple of tautog to 12 pounds. The weird fish of the day was a monkfish.
About 50 miles out, we did see some fish busting the surface that were probably bluefin but did not get close enough to know for sure.
Came in early. Nice February fishing. We did have our special February sea bass permit, called VMRC operations on the way out and in and filed our catch report online. We were not met at the dock on this trip.
