Atlantic Ocean Fishing Report
By Capt. Jim BrincefieldToday was the greatest extreme long range deep drop wreck fishing trip in the 5 years we’ve been doing this fishing. We had a fair sea condition most of the day. It got a bit choppy during the afternoon segment and as we returned to The Bay the NE “washing machine” was just getting stirred up. I’m afraid it will be a while before we get out again. Here comes the big blow!!!This was our 4th extreme long range deep drop wreck fishing trip of the 2007 campaign. We were joined by 12 intrepid anglers, along with local all stars like world famous Mr. Jamal Esfahani of Virginia Beach, and the brothers Capt. Mark Wray and Capt. Steve “The Professor” Wray. Mr. T.J. Reiber served as 1st Mate. Oh yeah, don’t forget “Ralph” – a/k/a “Kidney Bean”. Note to you 2 folks who “missed the boat” and did not show up this morning – YOU BLEW IT!!! We fished only one super secret wreck and whacked our limit of an amazing and absolutely incredible 350 keeper corpulent Black Sea Bass with alacrity. It was an excellent bite with multiple citations including THE TWO LARGEST BLACK SEA BASS ever caught aboard the “Jil Carrie” - at a whopping 7 pounds 7 ounces!!!! That’s right; both of them were 7 pounds 7 ounces!!!! We also released quite a few undersized BSB’s and Dawg Sharks. We also released a few Cunners and hideous Conger Eels. I asked the crew if they were up for a little Guinea Pigging to try some new spots I had in mind for Blueline Tilefish and Grouper. They agreed and we fished 5 locations where we caught 40 enormous Blueline Tilefish (including our 1st 3 ever VA Citations) 6 portly Warsaw Groupers (our first of this species and our largest ever of 20 pounds), and 9 Winter Runner Bluefish. WHEW, what a day!!! We were pleasantly surprised when Capt. Drew “Worm” Payne met us upon arrival back at the wharf at Long Bay Pointe Bait and Tackle with 3 hot pizzas for the crew! I think he was just looking for a skiing partner…
VA Weight Blueline Tilefish Citations (1 angler declined)
Mr. James A. Hodge of Chesapeake, VA - 15 pounds 15 ounces
Mr. Chad Stoker of Chesapeake, VA – 12 pounds 11 ouncesVA Weight Black Sea Bass Citations (3 not weighed as they did not exceed previously earned Citations)
Mr. David B. Howard of Leesburg, VA - 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 25 ¼”
Mr. George Williams of Jacksonville, NC - 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 24 ½”
Mr. Chad Stoker of Chesapeake, VA - 5 pounds 4 ounces
Mr. Dan Peters of Chesapeake, VA - 5 pounds even
Here she is in all of her glory - boogeley eyes and all - the largest Black Sea Bass ever caught aboard the Jil Carrie - Mr. David B. Howard of Leesburg, VA dispalys this beautiful 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 25 ¼” P - I - G!!!!!!
Oh yeah...just anouther routine [ yawn ] monster Blueline Tilefish ...ho hummm.....Mr. James A. Hodge of Chesapeake, VA with his 15 pounds 15 ounces VA Weight Citation
And then IT happened - we started catching Warsaw Groupers, or was it Black Groupers? Or was it Snowy Groupers without the snow? Or was it Wreckfish? Does anyone really know what you can pull from the depths of The Atlantic Ocean??? I've had so many people tell me it's definately a ______________. Ok, YOU MAKE THE CALLL!
