Live Line Fishing Report Deep Jigging “Day 1” 6-2-2009

Had Igor, Ivan, Evan and Milton return from NY for a 2 day deep jigging trip. Day #1 fished to the north looking for some possible grouper with the AJs. Started in 140 feet and worked out to 200 feet. Had a couple small AJs but things just seemed off even the boats trolling were having a slow day. Ended up in 300 feet and finally found a large concentration of fish. They were large but made up for it with numbers. 1st drop had all 4 anglers hooked up. We fished this area for a while with great action with a few 40 lbers mixed in. Tried for grouper again to the north but no action. We saw a old high flyer drifting and starting caught nice Mahi on top water. Ended up with 6 nice Mahi but the largest Bull left with a broken line and a plug attached. Headed to a 18 mile wreck at the end of the day to try for some top water AJs action we had a few followers but no takers on the poppers. Day #2 we go looking for the larger AJs.
