7/10 report from the Massachusetts.

7/10 report from the Massachusetts: Went there about 11 AM Thursday and there were three boats out there. One, anchored very near the wreck, had 3 guys on it and were all bowed up together(king mackerel and maybe a jc that broke off). They were catching small bait there with Sabikis and throwing them freelined into the water. Me with a very lively frisky blue runner with a blue/silver duster got no action slow trolling and bumping over 45 minutes all around the wreck. Maybe they were chumming and matching the hatch whereas I was not.

I saw a rare bird for here on the Panhandle in my experience: a frigate bird soaring overhead. Common in South Florida but I have never seen one here. Has anyone else seen one here?

How are others doing with kings this last week?

The only thing i can suggest that went wrong was that you were either trolling to fast or your bait was slightly to big...

Cigar minnows, LYs, and Threadfins are great right now but i havent heard to many reports of getting a good bite with bluerunners/hardtails.

Hope this helps
