anyone got a sea bass report?

Put a 4hour effort in today in upper Buzzards Bay. Avoided the fleet. Took a long time to find fish and then limited out (2 guys) on larger fish in several short drifts. Didn't mark much when we were catching fish. Used a different technique than norm. Usually I try to stay close to straight up and down while jigging (shimano butterfly jigs). Today we where casting jigs at 45 degree angle to our relatively fast drift, letting them drop, bumping them as they swung in well behind us, then twitching just off the bottom at quite an angle from vertical. Instant hook up but when I'd go back to vertical jigging.....nothing. Live and learn.

You just described the fun part of fishing. Cheers to some fish taco!
