Fishing Report Deep Jigging 10-17-2009
Had Paul from NY, Dave Irving and Joey from Singapore for a 2 day jigging trip. As they normally do the weatherman blew the forecast and change it for the worst at the last minute. We headed out in overcast skies and NM cold winds. Decided to try the AJs at 20 miles to start. Tried top water but no interest due to the weather. Finally got the school interested after a couple of drifts and right when the dive boat showed up. We managed 4 nice fish and the lady angler had the largest but 2 300 lb sharks hit it 20 feet from the boat. We moved to another area and caught 4 nice gags. 2 fish over 15 lbs. The weather calmed slightly so we decided to take a shot since the next day the forecast didn’t look good. Made it to the break in a short period and had action right away just not the big boys we wanted. Had a pretty good bite of small fish for a while them started looking for the big boys. Paul landed a nice Black fin and a Albi. Then we started getting cut off by kings because Dave finally caught one to confirm. Then we had a couple of decent fish hits and David landed a 53 ” fish. The winds picked up so we decided to head back inshore. Couldn’t find the good school but we had a short time and the drifts were very fast due to the winds. Caught plenty of fish for the coolers and fresh grouper.
