Default 15 Jan 2012 Offshore Report

Had a few new friends join me today offshore, forecast was for 1-2ft swells, was welcomed with 3-4ft swells for the first few hours. As time passed the swells subsided back to 1-2 and the wind calmed down eventually. However because the seas were so kind to us early on we ended up staying within 5-8nm of shore.

We ended up catching about 2 dozen AJ's on jigs alone (none meeting 30" other than those that broke us off, we can hope right?), what a thrill of a time that was! We also caught a nice handful of Red Porgies, a few White Snapper and a Black Sea Bass, not to mention a monster Red Snapper!

Overall a great day on the water, too bad we couldn't land those keeper AJ's that were probably staying a little farther offshore.

Nice job Wacky! We got out to diving, do to last minute trying to get a diver in the morning when one was sick, we didn't launch till around 11am, but was calm for us all day, getting better as the day went. We went about13 miles.

Looks like you guys had a fun time!

Thanks Clay! We had alot of fun and like you said the water was getting better and better throughout the day, we stuck to our agenda though and came in about 2pm.
How did you do, get you some good catch?

no right way to jig really, first time i jigged was in my yak and all i did was drop the jig to the bottom, start reeling and every other revolution i would jerk the rod tip upward. has worked for me so far.
