Fishing Report Deep Jigging and Popping 4-18-2015

Finally got another small weather window and headed off shore in a big east swell. We took our time and started fishing in the deep looking for Blackfin. The water temps went up to 76 degrees and not a lot of flyers around. The tuna started crashing on top later in the morning. We have a lot of strikes but young Luke was the only one that was able to keep one hooked. We moved around the rest of the day jigging looking for some Aficans but no luck. We eventually found a small ledge loaded with Almacos and Bonitas. Moved back out to the deep at the end of the day and found a decent school of 50 lb AJs. We then hooked 2 different Wahoo on a swimming plug while going up for drifts but both pulled the hooks with in site of the boat.
