LBI Blackfishing, Sunday - Dec 14

[peterb]

Went black fishing at the crack of dawn. Had to break a little ice in the Highbar Harbor canals. The ocean was like a lake at 6:30am. Went about 10 miles south of Barnegat Inlet.



Limited out by about 11:30am. Largest fish was around 10 pounds (see below picture). Green crab was the bait of choice.










Right back home was a little hairy. We had to cut across big tight seas the entire ride back.

Nice fish.
I should of went out today but winterized her instead.

Nice fish. I remember how cold my hands were after about an hour of fileting. I had to hold onto an ice cube just to warm them up!

Blackfish make pretty good ceviche and are spectacular on the grill over a cedar plank.

Nice job Peter! Dinner time........

We have to get some of you southerners -- Danny, Brian and Mike-- up here for some northeast winter fishing.

Nothing like fishing in below freezing temperatures with the wind howling.

The other day it got very snotty. When we pulled the anchor we had some 5 foot tight seas to deal with. The guy who went to pull the anchor almost fell over the bow. That would have been a bad situation.

I'd be wearing a Mustang coverall.
