Finally got a day when we didn’t have small craft warnings and could go fishing. We have a group of guys from NY come down specifically for the NC deep water jigging fishing and I think the trip was worth the ride to North Carolina. Started off targeting Snowy Grouper in 800 feet of water. The current was very strong so after some adjustments with the drift and much heavier jigs we limited out most fish we over 20 lbs. Headed back into the 250 to 400 dropped and start catching Amber jacks and various other species of jacks and grouper. Didn’t find the 100 lb AJs but had one close to 60 lbs. Continued working other ledges with success and had a few strikes that looked like Wahoo but no hook ups. Did catch a 250 lbs shark on a jig. Final stop we caught a nice African Pompano that weighed 33 lbs, Gag grouper 18 lbs and some small Scamp grouper. Overall and very busy day and the guys enjoyed a nice ride back in on the bean bags.
