I had my friends Gustavo and Roberto back in town for 3 days of fishing from Brazil. The weather man was very nice and ran out at 35 mph in flat seas but when we got to the break we had to dodge rain storms. Started north and inshore and found a lot of small Almacos. Later in the morning moved south to the deep spot and it was wide open for a few hours. We had large schools of bait with big AJs all around them. Landed a lot of quality fish. In addition, we had a few Mahi come by the boat and caught them on popping tackle. The guys worked hard all day. In the afternoon we had 3 different small Almacos (3 to 4 lbs) hooked on a jig and a very large AJs ate them on the way up. We tried to get her to eat a jig but no takers. There was not doubt a very large fish. Moved into 140 feet and caught some smaller AJs and nice Almacos. Decided to end the day at the wrecks popping for AJs. The guys had a blast with all the small AJs you wanted on poppers.
