We'll me and Dave saw early on in the week that the weather looked like it would cooperate for Friday. So we penciled in the day to get out. When Thurdsday rolled around and the weather man had not changed his mind yet, so it was a go.
We were set to get out and thenBillgives us a call and says that he is going out and if we want to jump on with him, then come on. So it was either go out in my 19' boat and dive mostly public stuff or head out in a 27' CAT and dive allnew stuff. The choice was easy. Thanks again Bill.
We hit Sherman cove around 0800 and head out to our fist spot around 38 miles out. Yes, we went far and deep. We pull up to the spot and start jigging at first just to see what is down there. We proceed to loose all of our jigs and tackle on big AJ's. But we do get two in the boat of decent size before we gear up to head down.
Well Dave and Bill see a nice wreck and plenty of illegal fish including a huge Gag which was estimated to be around 45-50 lbs. Dave also wrestled with a nice AJ that eventually got the best of him and was not able to boat it.
We move to the next Christmas present spot and we all head down to a nice spot with a lot of nice trigger on it. We shoot some and come up.
This tended to be the story of the day mostly. Dropping on spots all day long that are loaded with triggers. Most were in deep waters so we had enough time to pop a few and come up. I ended up doing 5 dives for the day. And I was wooped by the end of the day. We dove until the sun was going down. But we had a cooler of nice fish.
Here is the all inclusive picture of just my portion. We ended up with 23 trigger, 2 AJ's, 4 Almacos, 4 Mangroves, and one Shovelnose.
Largest AJ was 37" and my largest trigger was 21.5". I think largest trigger on the boat was either 22" or 23".
Great day on the water.
My daughter is always there to see the fish be brought out. She loves to see them and remember which fish is which.
