The bait spot produced. We got lots of pins and beeliners and a few sardines and thread fins. Terry called me Sunday evening with his report and said make sure you get some deens. He was right. The snapper would only eat the deens and threadfins. The bait spot also produced a surprise for Jack. He hooked a cobia that desided to make a meal out of one of his baits. Good thing the had the larger sabiki rigs. That heavier line allowed him to tire the cobia out and we got him in the box.
We worked the 90ft ledge all morning since I knew the deeper stuff was not working. Newy jigged up another cobia and we got 4 keeper snaps, as well as a big trigger fish and a mango.
The bite was hot from 9am till 12:30pm. Not much was happening in the afternoon. The water was fairly dirty on the ledge, but the fish could find live baits. We did move shallower on the way on, but we got nothing for the box; just shorts. Oh and the current was under a 1/2 knot, all day.
We had a great day on calm seas with a few fish for dinner. Or crew was excellent and Dave's gourmet sandwiches were awesome. Thanks guys!

Jack said... Another great trip on the Lady Jane. Pat and Newy know how to "git 'er done" and Dave makes an awesome lunch. Plus, he is a real comedian.
Looks like another good trip for Mr Pat. I spent the weekend helping move a building across a street. I'd rather been fishing.
