AP's and Jacks on Super Bowl Sunday

[di hrd]

Got the call from David to go jigging on a 32' Carolina Classic yesterday. The forecast was more than I would take my boat 55 miles offshore in but I would go in a 32 with curtains!

Four man crew David, myself and two first time jiggers, Bird and the boat owner Vince. The ride out wasn't too bad as I picked a spot the was in the trough. A spot that holds African Pompano in the winter.

Upon arrival it was on from the first drop. All four came tight on the first drop. Vince caught his first fish on a jig which ended up being the biggest fish of the day a 60-70 lb jack.

The seas were bigger than the photos look and the drift was very fast. We weren't able to back troll or we would have taken a lot of water over the back. Given the conditions we had only two tangles all day.

Vince had the hot hand or "slow hand" catching three AP's on a blue/mack flatside. He did well with a slow jig wile fast jigging was a guaranteed AJ bite. I caught the last AP on the new pink hologram Katana.

We left at 1:30 in a building 5' sea and were back at 4pm in time to clean up and see a great football game.

Plenty of Aj's to go around.






Someone forgot to tell David we weren't live bait fishing for Sharks.

heck yeah steve. i get the final word on that job tonight. could be down that way really soon.

[Sea Draggin]

I'm really glad someone is fishing and keeping them chummed up. I'm ready to go again now, after way too long away.

Great job guys.

Steve, how did you like the pigroast color? Looks perfect for an overcast day.

Your day is coming Jim. The 240 Pig Roast was getting destroyed on every drop. There were a bunch of toothy fish out there. It held up well. I tried to get a picture of it but my camera doesn't take pictures up close well indoors.

Nice report another great day. Just itching for a break in the weather to chip some paint of the jigs I got from Jim.

[Sea Draggin]

Yeah, that Pig Roast sort of looks like it has been drug around a parking lot a few times, thats why I asked. I wasn't sure if it was the camera or something.

You can't do anything in the design process about the teeth in the ocean. I had one customer last fall that had an old sandflea almost bit in two.

Its not a swimming pool, is it?
