Fishing Report 4-25-2009 Jigging/Bottom Fishing

Had a jigging/bottom fishing trip with a group of guys down from NY. We wanted to try primarily for grouper/bottom fishing. The ride out was not fun into a east swell. Went 52 miles and the current was running hard. We caught a few various bottom species but could not get the grouper to bite. Move offshore and had a nice 30 lb African jigging and a 20 lb red grouper. Worked hard moving around and tried for tuna on the jigs but I think they are all still to the south chasing flyers from yesterday. Ended the day with a beautiful Hog Snapper on the jig. Also had a lot of smaller AJs until the guys had enough.
