Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Thursday we had a full day and target species was amberjack. Headed out with a group of my regulars. We ran out and the ajs didn't disappoint. We caught a quick limit and lots of throwbacks. Biggest we kept was 53" to the fork and estimated 60-65 pounds plus. With sore arms, we moved on looking for other edibles. We marked fish at spot after spot but the fish had lockjaw. We kept moving and would pick off a few fish here and there. The hot zone was closer in where we nabbed a bunch of porgies, big key West grunts, some lane snapper, a ton of short red grouper, and a pair of keeper grouper. Another great day is paradise!
