Nov. 21st - Gulf Stream bottom fishing

Had a great group from a NC state fishing club based in Winston-Salem. They had invited me to speak back in the spring and we set up a trip for the summer, well after three postponed dates we finally got the weather to relax and went fishing.

With the idea to learn to jig and with the need to fill a freezer or two we headed offshore. The day started slow on the troll looking for fish to later jig on, with only one strike and a Black fin tuna on board we moved and jigged for a while with still slow results. A few Amberjacks and Almaco jacks were all that botherd to eat the jigs. With a quick trip inshore we pulled up on what would change the day, a nice coral bottom in 150 feet of water looked good on the bottom machine. I had a small jig tied on and one of the guys sent it down to find out what was home. Oh yes Grey triggerfish, big ones and they were ready to eat. After anchoring the boat we proceeded to work on them, and added a few Red porgies, White grunts, and some really nice red grouper. The action was fast so only got a pic of the aftermath. Great way to fill a freezer with tasty bottom fish.

With all the techniques used there is a lot of equipment today SR-30, SR-20, SR-12, BX2-30, BX-500N, BX-600N, BX-400
