went out on 5/5/14 hit the y-73 got a bunch of surprisingly small black sea bass along with a couple of keepers and this white grunt. biggest one I’ve ever caught! weighed in at 5lbs 1oz
Nice. Did you catch him off your shirt?
that is a fat grunt. I caught a big one as well this past winter. last time I was at y73, there were absurdly small sea bass there as well. my solution was to put the biggest piece of bait I could fit on the hook (about 3/4 of a fist) and wait. after five minutes of little ones picking at it, and bending my rod tip, it finally bent all the way over and i reeled up a nice 19 incher. repeated that about 5 times before we moved on to a different spot.
not sure if the sea bass moved off deeper or what? will have to try out deeper next time. catch um up…Mike
That’s a nice fish…I like a little variety in my day!

haha classic!
Only difference between Dolphin and Black Sea Bass is Dolphin cost you more per pound to target. There is an abundance of both.

Maybe, depending on how far out you go. It’s Relative, thats why I said cost per pound. Point is Dolphin & BSB are both easy to catch for their types of fishing.

I had fun fishing the upper Wando with you and C. today. It was a hoot.
