Trip Summary
Trip Summary
This was a great bunch of guys that wanted a long time on the water. We started off on some natural bottom, looking for trigger and caught loads of them. We kept one size 19" and moved over to some hard bottoms where we lit into some mangroves, red snapper, and gag. After the mangroves calmed down and the trigger weren't getting any bigger, we moved out to deeper water. We jumped around on beeliners and triggers until they were wore out and trolled for kings and wahoo in between. On the way back, I got a request for an AJ, so we took a little extra time stopping on a couple wrecks where we did find some AJs. Unfortunately, they were undersize, but they they got their pictures, plenty of fish for dinner, and hopefully a good time. I look forward to seeing these guys again!
