willy, i know ambrose channel can get snotty at times (most times). looks like you had a good day. i can taste those seabass from here. enjoy.
for those of you who have never eaten black seabass, i guess the closest thing you have down south would be like a sweet little grouper.
they are delicious. white a flaky.

we get them here in the northern gulf in the winter on the inshore wrecks,
excellent eating

I bet that is fun hauling up a big flattie in deep water like that. Good report Willy.

Fun, frustrating at times and tricky. The big problem is presentation, you often have to go to very heavy, 8-10 oz weights to keep your line in a fairly straight down presentation. Once you start getting your line out to far from the boat, at an angle then you tend to get hung up on stuff, your bait is no longer presented right, especially with a high low rig or a Spro or similiar jig and stinger hook arangement.
So when depth and drift speed conspire to thwart my deadly designs on the flatties or sea bastards I power drift, turning the boat into the current and bumping it in and out of gear watching my lines so that they are pretty straight up and down. Then the fish belong to me, he he he!
I also power drift when the current slows down and they normally are not hitting, I will mark some structure and bump it forward making my own drift, and it works well for me.
I am far from a really good fisherman, but I learned a long time ago to listen well.
