Fishing Report Deep Jigging 4-5-2009 Day 2

Once again we went off shore for more deep jigging action. The guys got some rest and were ready for more. The weatherman gave us a break and we headed out in clam seas. The plan for today was to go for larger fish and we were not disappointed. When we arrived at the spot the ocean was flat. The 2nd drift we had a quad hook up but all but one fish broke off. The guys realized we were dealing with a larger class of fish. After some modifications we started landing some nice fish. In addition, we had a couple of 10 foot sharks that made breakfast out of a few smaller Jacks on the way up. Later in the morning we started trying to jig higher in the water column and were rewarded with 4 giant Black fin tuna a 32, 29, 29, 27 lbs. We finished out the last of the day inshore a little looking for grouper and Chris finished strong with a fat Red. I didn’t get chance to get pictures of all the different species but the guys have them and should have them on the web soon. I think they enjoyed their 1st experience in NC fishing.
