Theair temp was a nice 40 degrees when we hit the Pensacola pass. The sun was still sleeping and the wind had just a liitle NE breeze to it. Sea conditions were also very nice 1 to 2's which made the ride out enjoyable. The crew of Brad,Gene,Rob and Tim were on a mission to have some fun today . The first stop was 48 miles out to the SW and the bottom machine lite up like a christmas tree. All four of us were hooked up in a matter of seconds with some nice Aj' and almaco's. With-in a few minutes we had our limit of jacks. But that's when we remembered that we had NO bait to deep drop with. After catching some bait we ran to the deep side in hopes of finding the longtails bass. First spot was nothing but snowies (Rob was the grouper master today). Next spot seemed that it had been taking over with green eyed sharks. Tim,Rob and Brad just had to send down some butterfly jigs on the torque's in 800 feet and remember they did tell me that they wanted to pull on some thing deep. At last the next spot yeilded some longtails and blueline tiles. With a load of snowies some longtails, some nice AJ's and almaco's it was time to run back to the beach. But on the way back in, it was munity again aboard RECESS. While running we had marked a new spot and Rob and Tim just had to get back down for some more pain with the AJ's. What we thought were scamps on the bottom after being hooked and on thier way up to the surface. The large AJ's were eating them from the jigs. A few very nice AJ were hooked in the process but with a limit aboard already it was the AJ's lucky day to get to go back down. It was a very good day again to be able to get off shore with friends and catch a few fish
