Black sea Bass

Ran out to the black fish banks near the Charleston 60 reef and caught my limit of black sea bass. Washed the boat and cleaned the fish. Took a quick shower and enjoyed a tasty fish dinner. Caught on squid on double hook bottom rigs.

Thought I was posting on inshore “reports” sorry!!!

A shame you go out that far and can only bring 5 of those endangered bsb’s back.

Yes they are so endangered you can catch your limit in just about the time it takes to haul them over the side. It takes a little longer though now. The 13 inch legal size means you gotta actually measure most of them. If they come up with that big green hump on their head you know that’s a keeper.

So, black sea bass are in season? Last year it opened in June. The regs change so much it is hard to keep up. So, the size limit is 13 now.

The black sea bass season was opened back up to year round at the end of last summer. The minimum size is 13 inches. That is actually a decent size fish with a good bit of meat on it. The catch limit is only 5 per person. That is kind of a bummer. I wish they would raise the catch limit back up to 15 per person per day. I think that would be perfect.
