Default Oriskany trip

Took the Cape Horn (Rig Runner) out yesterday with my son and some of his cousins, seas were fair, sky was dark offshore, we motored out to the Oriskany, No Dive Boats, did some trolling, not much luck, the water was still king green. So we decided to bottom bump, pulled in a couple snapper, some AJ's, only 1 legal, I was teaching my son the art of jigging and he got crushed, he was using a 7500SS with 40 power pro. Needless to say after he pulled this gag up from the wreck, he was whipped. It was his first grouper, so I'm glad it wasn't easy. All and all a good day.

Awesome catch. Glad the kids had a good time. I have been to the Mighty O and was unable to fish because of all the divers. There were a lot of fish on the bottom machine, they just seemed spooked with all the divers...GREAT JOB...FINE EATIN'

Nice catch. Woo what a grouper. Your time was well spent that night taking out the kids. I am sure they will thank you for it later in life. Gene :clap
