Fishing Report 5-2-2009 Deep Jigging

Had a couple of anglers in town from Michigan to try deep jigging off NC. The problem is that the weatherman had different plans. Went out 20 miles on Saturday to try to get some of the AJs at the inshore wrecks. We took our time in a hard/wet SW breeze but when we arrived there were 40 nice AJs under the boat. It took a while to finally get them to eat they just weren’t aggressive I think due to the weather. We did manage to catch and release one decent fish before we decided to move in a few miles. Trolled for kings with plenty of action since jigging was out of the question with the wind and waves. Caught a few kings before we tried to move inshore and try some casting for Spanish/Bonita. The inshore water was dirty and the wind was even harder a few miles off the beach. Unfortunately the guys were not able to experience the NC deep jigging and hopefully the weatherman will hook them up on the next trip.
