Pully Ridge 6/18-21 Yankee Capts

Post by ffishermen1 »

For my first time experience at (deep dropping) the Yankee Capt boat and crew made my trip the best it could have been. Things seem to start slower then what I was expecting, but I did ok at just picking them off here and there during the first day. I like the night time a lot better probably because the sun wasn't beating on me. The 2 day started like the first but the capt made a move to a different area and the bite was much better. I had good people fishing next to me that helped make my learning curve small and it showed on the second day.

Special thanks to GK for hooking me up with some bait.

Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

fat-looking BFT!!!

When you say deep drop, it means 400-600ft where you have to use electric reel, correct?

I had to put them in 2 coolers and needed help to lift one of them into the truck.

yes, we fished as deep as about 900 I believe and we started to get some golden tiles. I didn't get any of them. The tunas were caught at night in shallower water.

I did fish with an electric reel.

The way I was fishing I would call it bouncing. I would let it out hit bottom and then 1 or 2 cranks. Hold it for 5 -10 mins then drop it back again and crank it off the bottom. Rinse and repeat. My tunas hit on the way down. The jack hit me on the way up.

I caught 1 mutton on the trip. I ended up catching about 5-6 fish at night. I was getting cut off about 4-5 times so that didn't help. I caught a big jack in between the tunas. I believe I would have caught more at night if I didn't turn in. I didn't put in the max rail time as some of the others. After talking to them in the morning they said that the picking were steady but slow about an hour between bites.

But the capt said it was a very slow start. We were lucky late morning/early afternoon capt moved to a different area. More than half my catch came after that move.
