Fishing Report 7/21/09

Beautiful weather and flat seas with just two of us aboard. The current was running a bit and jellies were everywhere, getting into our lines. Ricky caught a 21 lb snapper on one of the first drops at a spot he hasn't fished in a while. Ran over another nearby that should be very productive w/ snappers and triggers this time next year. We caught a box full of fish with a few snappers, some nice scamp, and our limit of 2 AJ's. The AJ bite was fierce, they were going after anything, we even changed bait to try to avoid catching anymore, but kept hooking 'em with herring, pin fish and rubies! We decided to move on to another spot. Sharks ran us off another, kept coming up w/ grouper and snapper heads!

Fishing Expedition

Fishing trip 7/11/09. We took a week off from fishing since we had fished 3 tournaments back to back. Ricky wanted to scout out some new spots this trip. We tried all new places and had a great day! Now we've got some great new hot spots! David caught a 40+lb AJ this trip. He had another hook that had rusted still in him. We kept two kings, and was able to safely catch and release another that was about the same size, 4 snappers, 4 AJ's, several scamp and white snapper. We also caught what we think is a toad fish, we'll have to wait for Brent(our resident fish biologist) to get home to tell us for sure. Pretty good for an expedition trip!
