swack and first tuna/diving/ bottom bumping

headed out to the ledge with a livewell full of pins to spank the scamps! eric instead spanked us, with 5 fisherman using pins, cut beeliners, squid and cut bait we could not put a grouper in the boat. eric, jigging, put his limit of 12/18lb scamps in the boat in very short order! adam after drowning pinfish for a few hrs, took a short lesson from the master and they put a few more in the cooler. caught a few beeliners, triggers and pinks but the bite was really slow for us on the bottom. jigs ruled the day.

swack, on his first time ever offshore fishing (other then a few MEUS) put his frist fish, a good tuna on a jig in the cooler!

came back in to dive and eric harvested 4 lobster on his first dive. not to be topped adam and myself pulled up 9 lobster and this nice 20lb gag which adam shot as I held the light for him!

water temp was 82 on the top and 72 0n the bottom, viz about 15’ but really green and very dark! with 13 lobster, almost 60/70lbs of grouper and a basket of bsb’s and other bottom dwellers we had really fun day on the water with mike murphy,bgf, ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ and realfish01.

If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.

Did you catch that lionfish on a jig? First I have ever heard of that, pretty cool.

Did you kill the lionfish? Hope so…

Do you free dive or dive with a tank?

VERY nice work fellas! sounds like ya’ll had an all around awesome day- i had divers in the water as well when that storm came through and it was pretty gnarly and windy there for a bit- nice pics!

Nice haul!

We had a similar day minus the lobster and grouper. :smiley:

Vis was pretty bad, nothing on the bottom but THOUSANDS of sea bass.

We were on the bottom for the storm. Crew said it got pretty nasty up top. They kept the boat afloat and were there to pick us up when we surfaced.


Set the trap boys, we going to pass through them again!!

Nice catch Ed, sorry I missed it. Maybe next time. catch um up…Mike

Enjoyed it Ed . pretty humbling getting schooled by a butterfly jig, but then again, lunch was pretty good today!! Had a blast ,as always.

cleaned the lionfish,caught on the jig.

If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.
