Yeah, it certainly wasn't like that.

Put some lines out and troll it! You can also sight fish the larger pieces of debris.

I'm surprised you released all the triggers, they are one of the best eating fish in the gulf.

This time of year that close in? If so, I'll give trolling a try next time I'm in that situation. Bonito were plentiful for cut bait, could there have been black fin there to chunk for? It didn't even cross my mind at the time, but I would have given that a try.

If I were looking for AJ and came across a good weed line, then I'm dropping the AJ plan and putting a spread out. I mean a good formed weed line, not scattered grass though.

If I had known we were going to catch a bunch I would have. Usually we only catch a couple. Once we started releasing them, we just kept throwing them back.

You said you were 20-25 miles out, and by that I guess you probably headed S-SW out of the pass. You are very close to the edge there and with a good weed line this time of year with the water as warm as it is, you could really catch anything.

I just plugged my SD card into the computer and looked at my track from yesterday. The farthest I made it south was about 21 miles. I'm not sure exactly what is considered the start if the edge, but as far as I can tell my closest point of approach was about 5 1/2 miles.

Thats about right, when you hit 170 ft it will start dropping quick

Grab a couple of lipped plugs, halco plugs(looks like a fish with a flat head) and jigs. Try throwing a diamond jig horizontally along that line especially if that color change is around your bottom spot. And if you have any live bait, freeline one nose hooked or in the top of the back while you're drifting. Get with your local tackle shop to show you how to rig some of your lures. You don't need a full trolling set up to put out a couple of plugs. But it does help to have 2 seperate rods to troll so you don't have to keep swapping back and forth on your bottom rods
