I have been wanting to take my 21SE out for sea bass. I had been watching the forecast a few weeks and 12-1-13 looked good for my first long trip. We left out of Rudee Inlet in VA beach VA at 6AM. We had some NW wind left over form the day before. It was a little bumpy on the ride out to the wreck which was about 62 miles off VA Beach. It took about 3 hours to get there. We immediately started catchig sea bass up to about 4 pounds. The suprise was we were also catching nice trigger fish. We had two trigger fish over 4 pounds we weighed in for citations. We also cauht one nice hake and small bluefish. It slicked out for the ride in that took 2.5 hous.

Yesterday 12-8-13 we went speckled trout fishing in the Elizabet River that is in southeastern VA. It was a nasty cold rainy day but where we fish we are protected from the wind. The bite was off but we caught about 18 fish with several nice ones, we had thre for release citations. All fish were released and we tagged most for the VA tagging program.

Nice fish! How do you get involved in tag/release? I'd like to start tagging Stripers, Fluke, and Sea Bass..........

We've been tagging for these guys for probably 10-15 years. I think we have over 600 tags in the water, 32 have come back.
All fish we have tug were done so in South Jersey or Montauk. Fluke, seabass, and stripers. Have had some recaptured as far north as Rhode Island and as far south as Virginia.
Pretty cool stuff.
