Fishing Report Deep Jigging 10-05-2008 and 10-06-2008

October 7th, 2008 by Gillwetter Press

We finally got a small break in the weather and I was able to take Sami from anglerproshop.com and 3 other great anglers from all over. We have been trying to set up a 2 day trip for a while and the weather would not cooperate. We fished Sunday and had a great day deep jigging for giant Amberjack. This was the goal of the trip was to catch triple digit fish. The fishing was all quality fish all but one fish on Sunday was over 50 inches. We had fish between 53, 55, 56, 57, 58 and the last fish of the day was the monster 61 inches and 38 inch girth well over 110 lbs. As always we released all to fight another day. The weather was not so nice on Monday but we had to give it a try. Left early to try to get a window with about 5 miles to go the ocean looked like a washing machine but we fished until 12:00. The fishing was great with a large fish strike on every drift. The largest on Monday was a 57 inch fish caught by Dave. Sami was just short of catching his largest fish but had multiple fish over 55 inches. Rob from Florida and Dave from England both landed their largest AJ both in triple digit weights.

Tournament Report US Open KMT

October 7th, 2008 by Gillwetter Press

We fished the US Open KMT on Friday and Saturday with 450 boats entered. The weather was great and the fishing was very good. The fish were in South port as they always are during the tournament. We had our best day on Friday and fished a live bottom area 5 miles off the beach. We had 15 kings 5 over 24 lbs and the largest was 29.05 lbs. Saturday was a little slower but had 10 fish and most of the boats fished the same area so it was a little crowded. It was a good two days of fishing and we ended up 32nd out of 450. The fall kings bite is on in Southport so give me a call if you want to experience some of the best king fishing of the year.
