Short & Sweet Day on De Gulf

jjam · 02-08-2012, 03:09 AM

Stephanie, Leo and I cleared the pass around 11:30 in search for a few Aj's. After a short run, we were into them pretty thick and surprisingly no red snapper hit our drops when collecting our live bait. Funny thing today, the largest Aj hit a double drop rig tipped with squid, go figure.

We jigged up some nice legals and live baited bigger ones but the biggest Aj of the day came on a small circle hook tipped with squid by Leo. Redundant within this post but i just couldn't believe it!

Six legal size and many more were landed now with our limit on ice we moved on to find the trigger bite.

After a short run we found them biting well but all were just shy of legal.

Oh well, another great day on the water fishing with friends & calm seas made for an awesome ride in.

Nice job how many miles out did you have to go to find them? I figured they would be getting pretty far now.
