Somewhere near JFK in the ocean

[Chevy1]

A buddy invited me out on another friend’s boat so we left Lindenhurst about 7:30 and headed west. Upon arrival to the spot (30 ft) we found many many boats already there.
We tried jigging and soft plastics for a while. Nothing.
The the bunker showed up?
Livelined them and I was on as soon as it reached bottom fish on. I got two at 31’’ ?? top of the slot. Then a couple sand sharks and misses.
Then towards the end of the trip I hook up again. This was no little fish. But feeling I needed to share in the catching and handed my buddy the rod. 20 minutes later he pulls up a #40 bass. I don’t know how I foul hooked a fish with live bunker but I did.
So got her boat side and cut the line at the circle hook and she swam away.
It’s been a long time since I had a day like today.

Congrats Chevy!

Very nice! At least somebody was catching.

We went out Saturday and dragged some spoons on wire around the pink hotel and westward. Like you said, lots of boats there. We had a couple of hookups but never got anything to the boat. Tried a little jigging and live-lining, but the only thing boated was a small snail on a diamond jig. What can I say? I'm a master at catching weird cr@p.

We didn't see anyone else catching so you did well.
