I had Kint, Michael, Tetsu and Winny come down from NY with Bookfishingtrips.com for 1 day of deep jigging. The ride out was a little bumpy due to the swell left from NE winds on Sat. We ran to the south looking for some AJs and 1st drift marked fish from the top to the bottom. There was no current and 1st drop was eaten on the way down which was the good news but the bad news was the sharks were everywhere and hungry. We hooked fish all day long and battled the sharks. I am not sure if it was due to the lack of current but no matter where we hooked fish the sharks found us. We did manage to land a couple good fish. Also Mike had a couple nice Yellow Mouth grouper and Kint landed a decent Black fin. I was trying to hook a fish for Winny and saw a school of Mantas go under the boat and 3 guesses what I foul hooked. Once it started trying to run I broke off the leader. Later in the day we had had enough of the sharks and went in shore for some grouper. We stopped and 45 miles and the 1st drift we had a nice Red Grouper and a 15 lb Gag. Also had a lot of Grunts/Sea Bass and Pinkys.
