Thanks for the report, I'm glad someone was able to get out.

Glad you were able to get out there. Sad those rosey racals are not in butter and batter right now. I hope they made it back down, if not then that is just the luck. Damn FLIPPER, damn him to HELL. :blownaway Congrats on some good eats.:toast Even more importantly congrats on getting the heck out there.

Were you fishing the bridge rubble to the southeast or the southwest? I haven't tried the southeast rubble in 113 feet yet. It is good to know that there are legal jacks on that stuff. Did you try for triggers at all? We fished the same day and couldn't catch any legal jacks on the penhall reefs. One more question, were you using the butterfly jigs or the regular hair jigs? Great report and really pretty pictures.

Wright,

We were fishing the southeast rubble in 113 feet of water.

That is interesting. I was told by a charterboat captain that the rubble had been fished out. I guess I got snookered on that. I did have some luck on the closer in bridge rubble to the east until the barracudas moved in and just took over. I could see a white lasertail hanging out of one of the snappers mouth. I guess that is what you were jigging with. Thanks for all the info.

It's a damn shame we can't keep a snapper right now. As thick as they are, you'd think they'd lift the restrictions sometime soon.
