Seabass Fishing in the Long Island sound with my dad (from kayaks)

It was the weekend of the annual bluefish tournament of 2023 so we did go out with intention of looking for bluefish but really didn't waste time roaming around. Instead we hit up some deep boulders first and then trolled over to some shallower ones. We found black seabass at all depths on this trip. Although it was a grind on the kayak, there were some major highlights and surprises along the way, and we both had a great time out on the water!

Another great trip. Love the videos with Pops, you guys have a blast out there together, and a double limit of Sea Bass, awesome.

I’m on the CT side of Long Island and I’m having the hardest time finding keeper sized sea bass from my outback. Good content.

There is no better way to "Honor your father" than what you showing in this video. You are setting a great example for future generations. God Bless!

Pete, it seems that the sea bass are becoming more abundant for some reason. I had 6 keepers up to 22 inches on saturday and 3 yesterday up to 21 inches, all about 3-4 miles east of where you were fishing in this video.

G'day mate. I've been watching you for a while from Australia so you're doing well. keep up the good work these vids make my nights worth!

Hi Peter, Another highly productive fishing trip with your dad. I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
at 23:30 how do you determine according to traditional sonar view whether the bottom is a big boulder or some steep slope?

[NurShah]

You cannot ask more than that, hunting sea bass with Dad

Good fishing outing with your Dad! Enjoy these days.

They have an air bag inside right on spine above stomach

They CAN see it or feel it. I have caught trout on black lures in pitch black no moon midnight conditions. IDK how. But they can.

Peter, a Seabass on a 3MPH? troll is a first for me. Never seen it. Nice to see the larger ones feeding vigorously if you are over the right spots. That usually doesn't happen for me until October. Not sure if you bleed your Seabass but the filets are amazing when done (I did a side-by-side comparison). It is better than filet mignon. Greetings from Gio, Western Long Island Sound.

Awesome double up. Also, Awesome stuff fishing with ur dad. . The memories we live for. Tight lines!

Peter
wow great darn fishing
I am curious how is it that you caught mostly only Bass
I mean I would have guessed that the usual assortment of fish would have hit those lures, like Fluke. Robins Bluefish Striped Bass, etc
or did you edit out??
also
i see what you were saying in our previous discussion about this location vs the other one
now I am definitely able to see myself moving to either of these two fishing grounds

[francus]

Wasn't your kayak yellow? I'm soooo color blind it took 3 months and waivers to get into the U.S. maybe it was grey.
Dad has the flag today.

Peter
I wanted to ask you a while back but kept forgetting to
so I am wondering about how much you love, like your kayak, are there cones
you always look very stable
I am worried about one thing when it comes to stability
I have gained weight thanks to no gym ( covid) and went from 215 to 235
I bet you are about 175-185
I bet that difference could mean whether or not my fat ass capsizes one day and you do not
right
I mean I would obviously not make the mistake that your dad did, thanks in part to his mistake taught me to think about that
no I am thinking about when a wake from a big boat surprises me and I cannot turn the kayak in time
then again I am reassured and believe that this will not be an issue in the sound as it is, say for Mr skinner and anyone fishing in the Great South Bay
so as long as I stay with the Sound I believe it will not happen,
for example from all your vids I rarely even see another boat, let alone a close call from a wake
from some scumbag
pardon my french
lol

[robertstorms]

Glad you are finding seabass in the sound. Orient point has been pretty lame so far, mostly midgets.

Season open here closed their, it makes no sense because politicians are in charge of it ! You think your license/permission slip is to protect fish na it doesn't companies are still dumping in the waters Sooo ! We all have a god-given right to recreational fish for fun food therapy, let's help abolish the recreational fishing licenses
