Some Thoughts on Winter Fishing

We had a good trip last week and I wanted to get out again with the nice weather. I felt like I was coming down with a cold and with the flu going around, I decided to stay home. This gave me a chance to look at some fishing websites and all the buzz is about sea bass fishing. It seems that everything floating is running 50 or more miles offshore to make fantastic catches. I can see the party boats making the run, but 25 to 30 foot center consoles? In January? For 15 sea bass? Hopefully the weather and the fishing will hold on for the next few weeks.
