LiveLine Charters Fishing Report

Had a great group of guys come down from NY for their 1st experience in NC for deep water jigging. Jon, Gary, Chris and Peter are now hooked. Sat the weatherman was not very close as usual and it was rougher than expected but we toughed it out and stopped in 140 feet. The 1st fish was a nice Red grouper. Then we started hammering the medium to large AJs. Everyone had a blast and could not believe the fishery. The wind let up in the middle of the day so we moved out to 200 feet and had more AJs, 2 African Pompano a 300 plus lb shark in the jig. The bite slowed a little in the afternoon but everyone needed a break so we looked for a few grouper and then called it day so the guys could prepare for day 2.

Had another great day jigging. The weatherman gave us a break and decide to fish on a buddies boat so I could spend some time concentrating on fishing. We had another unbeleiveable day. Caught 14 different species of fish and I caught my personal best Gag and Rec groupers. In fact 2 Gags one 39 inches and the other 40 inches. Countless AJs I had one with in 40 feet of the boat that was defenately over 80 lbs but cut cut off due to the tripple header. Also had couple of Wahoo strikes that cut off the jig completely. It looks like we may finally get a weekend of decent weather so more to come.
