Jigging for AJ's in Wilmington, NC ! - Page 2

gman · 03-20-2008, 06:42 PM

depending on the day I would be in. Im going down in a week also

I need a break and I decided to go down to NC on Thursday as I see the first nice weather on Thursday in three weeks.
We are going to try snow grouper in 850 ft first and jig for AJ. Though we have to run 70 miles for the fishing ground, the AJ and the snowy grouper ground is only 6 - 7 miles apart.
If we are lucky, we might encounter yellowfin tuna or African Pompano on jigs. We don't fish with Capt. Rick this time as he is booked already.

Lucky you! I keep counting down the days until May 2nd. I have not fished in way too long. Maybe I'll sneak out for a day trip soon....maybe get a few blackfin.

Are you bringing all the same gear or testing anything new?

I got to test Saragosa reel more and I'll use the reel most of time except snowy grouper fishing. It is interesting to see whether AJ bite or not after northeast blows as bottom fishing is normally bad after Northeast blow.

good luck.......if i get out i'll be envious of you jigging big AJs and grouper as i jig up 800 red snapper but get to keep none! haha

Bret.
When I go down to NC again, I'll fly down as the round trip airfare from Newark, NJ to Wilmington, NC is as low as $270.

thats not bad....my flight from houston the wilmington on the 2nd is a bit more, though not that much. yours is nonstop i bet though

rtran · 04-08-2008, 08:04 PM

I paid 300 although I saw it at 240-250 at times.

Thats not bad for a weekend trip!! I'm heading to Myrtle Beach in Mid May for work and was trying to figure out how to sneak away to get some fishing in. Anyone have any experience there??
I'd be interested if you guys go to NC again.
Thanks,
Nick

Hey Nick, I'd like to arrange a weekend trip in June with Chip if he's available so maybe we can organize something together!

TL,

Brian
