    wb 2/3 deep jigging

    headed out Sunday morning in slick calm seas after some more deep jigging action. First stop was for snowy grouper and quickly hit a limit in the 20-30 pound range. My dad caught his first jigging and it ended up beating the 20 pound mark for his first grouper citation. After that we moved inshore a little bit and deployed the ballyhoo in hope some early season tuna. We had a quick three bites from what I assumed were small blackfins since the baits were barely even mauled. We marked lots of bait and 71.7 degree water but after another half hour it was time for some jigging and grouper droppin'. We set up on the bait pod we marked and it was AJ city. We landed a few of those including a 56 incher by my dad. It was pretty slow for the rest of the day until we finally hit a spot and caught three reds, two hog snappers, a lion fish, 2 kitty mitchels, a coney I think and some kind of wierd jack that we still can't ID. Other than 1 red, jigs produced every fish at that stop. It was an awesome finish on the day before the ride home in flat calm seas. Total on the day was 4 snowies, three reds, 2 hog snappers, 2 5+ lb trigger fish and an assortment of other bottom critters. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. Lots of pictures from the day.
