Why do People like Black Sea Bass
Most anglers that love to go after Black Sea Bass like the mild, sweet flavor. The meat is firm and yet tender, flaky. Such an excellent fish to work with in the kitchen. The meat also contains a lot of protein. Considered a top eating fish.
Where to Catch Black Sea Bass
The black sea bass found in the area ranged from Cape Cod south to North Carolina. Black Sea Bass are a migratory fish that winters in deep water off the coast of the mid-Atlantic states. They then travel north in the spring (May).
Adult sea bass then take up residence over rocky bottoms or anywhere some structure can be found in depths of less than 150 feet. They are abundant in Massachusetts, with the largest populations being in the Buzzards Bay area and Nantucket and Vineyard Sounds.
Black Sea Bass generally hang around the area until October.
How to Catch Black Sea Bass
The most popular way to catch Black Sea bass is with bait rigs. But some people use lures. Lead head jigs and BuckTail jigs work well. Using these along natural bait works very well.
Black sea bass are found around structure. In spring and summer they can be found in shallower water (20 to 40 feet). During the summer, black sea bass move into deeper water (60 to 120 feet).
