slipped the lines at 4am for the long ride out to the GThole.ride out was not bad making 24kts. first bite was at 9:40. seas were big and building but a very fishable day! only could manage 6 phin all day, all but one were very nice, all in the #20 range. had a blue hit the purple blackbart wahoo bait on the deep planer then took the wtfb ceder plug daisy chain. smoking a 50w, greyhounding and tailwalking! time we cleared all the lines and turned the boat to give chase he spit the hook! we all agreed around 100lbs. we have never seen so much bait as the flyers were thick all day. trolled south for a few hrs with no luck and decided to try the jigs for grouper. could not escape the very large bsb’s everywere we stopped. got into the beeliners which were thick over live bottom 30’ off the bottom! megabite put on a class for butcherboy on how to slaughter the red footballs, he never did catch on! never could get the grouper to bite,even with live pinfish, the bait could not hit the bottom without the bsb’s killing them.
always a great day with realfish01,megabite,butcherboy,adam and ben. highlight had to be the buffet,smoked mutton snapper dip. grilled wahoo wraps, killer meats and cheeses from Lancaster PA, and butcherboys snacksticks!
offshore office sure has the hot hand this yr congrats, our trips have been very average this yr! time to go killing with some compressed air, lots easier on the wallet!
If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.
