Black Sea Bass

If you're looking for some bottom-fishing action near Sneads Ferry, targeting Black Sea Bass is a great option. These tasty fish are abundant on the numerous artificial reefs and wrecks offshore. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they school up tightly. Standard bottom fishing rigs with squid, clams, or cut bait work well. A fish finder is essential for locating structure and the schools of bass. A local tip: try using a double-hook rig to increase your chances. Be mindful of the regulations, as there are size and bag limits. Also, be prepared to deal with strong currents, so bring a variety of sinker weights to stay on the bottom.
