Short Trip out for AJ's

Unchained · 02-10-2012, 10:41 PM

Late start out. Left out of Shoreline in search of AJ's. No time to catch live bait so we used what we had left over from a previous trip. My friend Scott had never caught and AJ so I told him that we would head out to a spot to put him on some AJ's. At first stop, GPS lite up like a Christmas tree. Dropped down and they didn't want our bait. Moved to our second spot and first drop down, BAM. Scott hooked his first AJ. Keeper @ 33 inches. After that, a couple break off's and nothing but HUGE red snappers. Getting kind of late. Decided to drop down one more time and Scott's pole bent in half. Thought it was a grouper. He fought it about 20 minutes or so. Reeled in about a 7 ft shark. Decided it was time to head back into ShoreLine. Cold wet ride back. Fun day fishing. Buddy lands his first AJ. Looking forward to next trip.
