Brooklyn Blackfishing

[mrbrklyn]

Been busy this fall blackfishing in the colder waters of fall along NYC and NJ.  I've been pulling down some decent catches and often limiting out.  Tackle is everything with these fish, as they dive into the rocks and snap lines.  On the Ocean Eagle I went through three shock leaders on my 50 lb braid.  On the  MArilyn Jean IV we doubled up on the leader and later increased it to a 40 lb test.  It's challenging and takes patience. But there is a reward in the end.

Ruben, nice photos and black fish! Black fishing is an "art" form. You gotta anticipate the hit. Thanks for posting.

Everything I look for in a good eating fish is present in that fish. Got to try that some day.

beautiful white meat, all the wreck fish are great, what do they eat, shrimp, lobsters, crabs, mussels ,squid, can't go wrong, just watch for the bones around the rib cage (belly).
