Took some experienced fishing friends on a exploring offshore jigging trip. The weatherman was on the money for a change and the ocean was beautiful. Started the trip by going to 800 feet and caught our limit of Snowy grouper. Move back into the drop and worked a lot of different ledges. We found a lot of AJs and Jacks but no grouper. Eventually we found a active ledge and started catching large African Pompano mixed with the AJs. We have several double and triple headers. We worked hard and had a blast and left the fish biting. The offshore jigging works well but it helps to have the specific tackle designed for this fishing.

Had 6 students on spring break that wanted to do a little bottom fishing. Unfortunately the weatherman was not very nice. As usual the 10 to 15 mph winds turned into 15 to 25 and the 2 to 4 ft seas were a little larger. We headed out around 20 miles and set the anchor to try to find some keeper Sea bass to start and wait for the wind to let up as fore-casted. We caught plenty of Sea bass but hard to find keeper. We did however find plenty of sharks and a lot of baby Sand Tigers. We also had a 120 lb Sandbar shark caught on 20 lb tackle on a Sea bass rig. The guys enjoyed the day despite getting wet due to the 20 mph winds and the spray. Needless to say the wind never let up all day.
