Day of the Donkey

reefdonkey · 02-03-2008, 04:58 PM

My buddy Don, his dad and I met at Bahia Mar marina this morning to take the boat out and run the motors and make sure we were ready for the upcoming season. Decided to throw a few poles on board just in case we wanted to troll for some reds or something. Last minute decision at the Outcast and left with about 4 dozen live shrimp to mess around the Fort Pickens area. Started heading across the bay and the 4-strokes were purring along so we decided to stick the nose around the corner and see if the weather man lied. Came around the corner and it wasnt that bad so when headed south towards the Tenneco. About 5 miles offshore we started getting hammered by solid 3-4 so we decided to check out some of the new bridge rubble instead. Greens Hole was on the way so we stopped to possible pick up some live bait, after all we still had 4 dozen live shrimp. My buddy Don grabbed the bait rod and i decided to drop down a vertical jig and see if anything wanted to play. Jig never made it to the bottom, first Donkey on. The Amberjack were so thick we couldnt get anything pass them. Around 10 AJ's later, we pressed on and headed to the rubble. Arrived at the rubble and proceeded to boat over more 20 AJs easy with some BIG SNAPPER mixed in. Shortage my ass, there were fish all over that rubble. All fish were caught on jigs. We were back a the dock around 12:30.

Here are a couple of PICS:
