I headed out Saturday with good friend Bill and son Leif on the Sea Tiger II 1/2 day afternoon Porgy trip. Haven't been out on an actual Porgy trip in about 20 years so I was looking forward to it since the fishing has been so good this year. Last trip was the Jamaica II in 1990.
Anyway it was a great afternoon out. Leif fished ultra light and used the rigs we tied the day before, 2 and 3 hook rigs on 20lb triplefish with Gamakatsu hooks.They sure did the trick. Bill had suggested that those little sharp hooks would be the key and he was right. Bill and I fished the same rigs on conventional outfits.
We wound up with 40 Porgies in the cooler and had a great time. There were a few other species caught including some Blackfish and keeper size Sea Bass that were released.
The Sea Tiger was a great boat and Bill informed me that it was the old Big Marie S. The crew was great and it was a pleasure fishing on that Party Boat.
As always, it was great getting out with my son and Bill and we look forward to some great Porgy dinners. (Recipes to follow)

What happened to the captain of the big Marie s?
