I had Anthony, Jim, Gary and Jim come down from Raleigh for of jigging and trolling. As usual the weather man was a little off in the morning winds were still blowing 10 to 15 NW with 3 ft seas. We started in 140 feet and Anthony dropped 1st and hooked a decent AJ. We worked the area for a a couple hours with good action with small to medium AJs and Almacos. Moved out to 200 feet and had everyone hook up on the 1st drop. The problem was that the sharks found us quickly and ate everything we would hook. Decided to move when we watched 10 sharks circling the boat waiting for us to hook fish. We trolled south trying for Wahoo but only found hound fish. We stopped at the deep drop and fished in 300 to 350 feet. We had a lot of action with AJs and Almacos and a couple Albies but no Blackfin. Moved into 170 feet to finish the day and caught more AJs and Almacos. Then on the last drift Gary landed a 12 lb Hogfish on a jig. The weatherman was nice on the ride and took a couple nice pictures and the sun set.
