Deep Jigging Trip 5-31-2008

Took a group of 5 guys from various places including guys from the Angler Pro-shop. All were experienced anglers and wanted to try deep water jigging. We left at 4:30 to get a early start and the ride out was a little bumpy and wet thanks to the large east swell. The slow ride out was worth the time. The 1st drift resulted in multiple hook ups and it stayed that was all day. To be honest I have no idea how many fish we caught and released but we have up to 5 anglers hooked up at once. The only time we didn’t have fish on was when the guys were taking a break. We also had 4 Mahi on the top water and boated 3 one very large bull actually came to the boat and ate a jig only a few feet away but I stuck him with the gaff a little green and he bent it around the boat but in the fish box he went. We also had a nice Sailfish follow a top water to the boat but didn’t get him hooked up. The SW winds picked up late in the afternoon and we headed home a little tired and wet. A outstanding day of jigging.
