Jigs :100-300 gram, Diamond jigs 100 gram… red/white, silver, pink, and glow worked the most.
Since last week's trip went well we decided to do it again so we went on Saturday December 17th. This trip was another great success. I only got bait on the trolling and lost my only big hitter. I don't know how my reel was at max drag. As soon as I was going to adjust it the line popped possibly at the knot. There were about four or five more grouper hits lost and at least two wahoo cut offs. One Gag was landed by English Fisherman (Adam) and that got everybody going and then the whole crew in the boat got so pumped up with the wahoo caught by sepaick (Sehoon), it was awesome to see and hear. I could not include much in the video since the language went above normal cursing, LOL....And then to top it off the Warsaw grouper caught by Greg made it even better. The bite also included the normal Almaco jack landings and only one tiny blackfin. As always, it was a blast. Can't wait to do it again. Here are some pics and there is a video to follow.
As always many fish were released.

Would love to see the video.
Ain't that what we always hear? These trips are great. I can't wait to see how it's going to be on other boats as well.
