Magnolia pier

[Bassmaster]

My first trip of 2026. Felt good to get out. I will base trips on reports going forward until it starts warming up. Today I fished magnolia pier and caught nothing. I will try party boats if the weather permits.

Any herring reports at all anywhere. Capt lou the end of the month has a bergal trip.

Never thought I'd see the day of Bergal trips. Sad state of affairs? Island Current had one couple days ago.

Never thought we would get to the point where cod get thrown back and bergalls kept!

Drives me nuts yet here we are.

LOL, Bergall trips. What a sad state of affairs we are in if the PB industry has to run these trips.

Even sadder if people are paying to catch bergalls!

Just drive to NJ. Their tog season is still open...........

Years ago, porgies, bluefish and weakfish all ended up in the dumpster.

After pictures, giant bluefin were trashed as well or used for cat food.

That said, fishing is fishing whether it's for bergalls, carp or giant tuna.

I've caught giant tuna (more like reeled in with rod in rod holder) but I'd rather catch a 4lb small mouth bass on light tackle!

My guess is that because a party boat can't advertise a catch and release trip for sea bass and cod, and there are customers who are anxious to bend a rod, they advertise "cunner" trips. But what do I know. I've been told that cunners taste great.

Sounds more like a fillet and release trip............
