First trip for the spring. Left the dock at 6:00. In about 130’ just short of the Georgetown hole , ran across an edge with tide, a few flyers and a lot of man o wars. When we got to the break the temp was 74 degrees with bait everywhere, on top, mid water, and bottom. First fish a wahoo about 2 minutes in. We had a long string of rubber hooks and cut offs and then it started coming together. Fished the break for about a 2 mile stretch 160 to 250 foot, lots of bait. Steady bite throughout the day, caught our share of bonitas, cudas. Had a dozen cut offs , at least six of them I put my eyes on the wahoo that cut us off. It was great finding bait and warm water when I was really expecting it to be cool and green in March. Ended the day with 10 wahoo, 4 blackfins and a lot of bonitas and curse. Pulled one wire leader all day without a bite. Fish hit on top and planer was busy. No see-um bite at the dock was epic! Caught all but two fish on ballyhoo/sea witch caught one on a Braid Bonita plug. I would have to say best color was green/white.
Great catchin there Epkeelin, congrats!!! Might add you probably
need to keep these pics in the inner circle…If they get around,some
bureaucrat will think they will need to be protected and close the
species and area down…

They were all on 100, 130 pound mono and 90# flourocaron. I pulled a 108# single strand wire rig all day without a bite, normal sea witch, close to boat and way back not a sniff. We go cut off a lot but we got a lot of bites. In the end day in and day out I will take that chance. I have a few extra sea witches on hand. If I had to do it over I would have rigged some with wire loop thru hook eye, it would have saved 2 or 3 fish yesterday.
HOOK PLACEMENT IS CRUCIAL! Ha
