Tried trolling the Edge last week, lots of bait around but didn't get a single hit. Luckily I found my old GPS unit off my center console that had some numbers in it I hadn't fished in 5 or 6 years. The spot I went to was only in 110' and used to be loaded with red grouper almost every time I fished it. They might have been there but we couldn't get passed the monster snapper that moved in. We caught fish up to 25+ pounds almost every drop using bait we caught at the edge. Hit a few wrecks to do some vertical jigging and put some almaco jacks in the cooler with the mingos for dinner. Had a monster AJ on but he went for the wreck and didn't slow down until he snapped my 65# braid. All I got were a few snapper pictures. Will be going back when the season opens for sure, sucks it's only a few miles into federal waters.
