All my usual fishing buds were busy so just me and the squirt stayed kinda close. Pogies came easy and first stop was a zero. Second spot and half a dozen ajs abd 3 cobes come up. Pitch a pogie and one eats. 10 min later 30# on the deck. After that it was all ajs, had some more cobes look but would not eat. Finally had enough fighting ajs and went to spot #3, more ajs!!!
Was still fun…backs a little sore!
NMFS needs to do something about this overpopulation of ajs…

Eat the AJ’s…pasta is already included:smiley:!
Good for you getting the lad on the fish.

Actually kept one, it was worm free. Taste like cobia…

i love ajs! just dont keep the back quarter of the filet lol! the meat grills up wonderfully and is very hearty, not too flakey! that with some fresh pasta alfredo is tough to beat!
Fishing with my dad out of Winyah Bay on the Uncommon Thread.

AJ is great eating. The tail section is trash but any worms in the rest of the meat can be gently pulled out. The worms wouldn’t hurt you anyway if you accidently ate one. More protein!
