Left out friday with a light load of 23 anglers to exellent seas.
The Big E,s new management Under Water Expeditions was anxious to get a trip on the board and there was no fuel surcharge.
First stop for bait was a rig 22mi. off that produced some bait (cold cloudy green water) tried another rig further out and picked up enough bait for one live well.
Next stop Sunrise platform that produced several nice A.J.s . I used a small cuberra jigged up at the bait stop and it was hammered on the 4th count, several others were also boxed.
We arrived at Nancen to a slow start that took several drifts to get the fish going. The bf jig bite took off and many commenced to chunking with fair results. The topwater bite was best on sub surface lures (swim baits, frenzy popper, shibuki) with some caught on small surface popers. A few nice yf came on jigs. First night total 32 yfs 60 to 80lb.
Saturdays bottom fishing produced bliner, a few grouper and a.j.s. The highlight was when Mark of www.bigfishbowfishingtexas.com, Texas best Bowfishing guide service. shot a mahi with bow, first time iv'e seen that!
We trolled west flower gardens but the only taker was a large A.J. that hit wahoo lure.
Night 2 was at gunnison spar with a few short flurrys of yf and a long wait for the a.m bite. persistance paid off for those who waited ... and 21 yfs where caught.
Trip total 53 yellowfins, most 60 to 80lb.
well over 100 blackfin several a.j. a few grouper, 3 mahi, 1 cobia and bliners
It was nice to fish with 2coolers Jig, 6x6, solrac and others..
I managed 3 yfs 7 bfs, 2cuda on the tackle house shibuki without loosing it......whew
