Captain Jerry's private seabass charter runs from mid-May through mid-June, hitting the sweet spot of black seabass season when these bottom dwellers are most active and hungry. At $975 for up to six anglers, you're getting a full seven hours on the water targeting some of the most reliable eating fish in our offshore waters. We shove off at 7:00 AM sharp, giving you plenty of time to work the structures where seabass love to hang out during their open season.
This isn't your typical party boat experience – it's your own private fishing machine for the day. Captain Jerry knows these offshore structures like the back of his hand, and he'll put you on fish that have been holding steady throughout the season. We're talking about productive bottom structure that consistently produces quality seabass, the kind of spots that separate the pros from the weekend warriors. The boat comes fully rigged with all the bait and tackle you'll need, so you can focus on what matters most – dropping lines and filling the cooler. Just pack your lunch, bring plenty to drink, and round up your fishing crew for what's shaping up to be a top-rated day on the water. The beauty of a private charter means we fish at your pace, whether you're seasoned bottom fishers or folks looking to learn the ropes from an experienced captain.
Seabass fishing is all about precision and knowing your bottom structure. Captain Jerry positions the boat over rocky outcroppings, wrecks, and ledges where seabass congregate during feeding times. We're using traditional bottom rigs with circle hooks and enough weight to keep your bait right in the strike zone, even with current running. The technique is straightforward but requires attention – you'll be working bucktails, squid strips, and clams near the bottom where these fish spend their time. Captain Jerry provides all the terminal tackle, including the right hooks and sinkers for current conditions. The key is feeling the bottom and keeping your bait moving just enough to attract attention without spooking fish. During peak feeding periods, you might find yourself reeling in seabass one after another, but patience pays off when the bite slows down. We'll move between several productive spots throughout the seven-hour trip, giving you the best shot at consistent action.
Black seabass are hands-down some of the best table fare you'll find in offshore waters, and they put up a solid fight for their size. These chunky bottom dwellers typically run anywhere from keeper size around 15 inches up to trophy fish pushing 20-plus inches and several pounds. During the May through June season, seabass are actively feeding and building up reserves, making them aggressive biters when you put the right presentation in front of them. They're structure-oriented fish, meaning they stick close to rocks, wrecks, and ledges where they can ambush prey and find shelter. What makes seabass fishing so appealing is the consistent action – when you find them, you usually find groups of fish rather than just singles. They're curious by nature and will often investigate baits that are worked properly near the bottom. The meat is firm, white, and incredibly versatile in the kitchen, which is why so many anglers specifically target seabass during the open season. Captain Jerry's local knowledge puts you on the structures that hold the best populations of quality fish, giving you the best shot at filling your limit while enjoying steady action throughout the day.
With seabass season running a limited window from May 17 through June 19, these private charter dates fill up fast among serious anglers who know the quality of fishing during this period. Captain Jerry's reputation for putting anglers on fish makes this a customer favorite trip that books solid throughout the season. The three-day cancellation policy gives you flexibility for weather, but remember that deposits are non-refundable, so plan accordingly. At $975 for up to six anglers, you're looking at roughly $160 per person for a full day of world-class seabass fishing with an experienced local captain. That includes all bait, tackle, and seven hours of fishing the most productive offshore structures in the area. Whether you're planning a guys' trip, family fishing adventure, or corporate outing, this private charter delivers the kind of fishing experience that keeps anglers coming back season after season. Don't wait too long to secure your dates – prime seabass season waits for no one, and the best fishing days of the year have a way of disappearing from the calendar faster than you think.
