Hello all! Had another good week of fishing, the weather was hot a few days and I am happy to have that t-top! The sea conditions have cooperated for the most part and the water temps seem to be staying right around 79-81 degrees so the fish have been hitting fairly well.
Fished to the east a couple days, had some spanish mackerel action at the AR362, they were eating the cigar minnows on the Hank Brown rigs, alot of bite-offs also. Moved off to the river bed and had a few little kings, on the downrigger, then dropped down to the bottom for a little action when that bite slowed. On the bottom we had a few ring tails and sea bass, just to get a few first timers a little more action before heading in.
Saturday went back to the east with a couple of regulars. Tried fishing live cigar minnows around Jesse's Ledge and South Rock, was rewarded with a bunch of hard fighting jacks but no kings or anything. With the east wind we decided to head back towards Masonboro on the troll with a spread of cigars and ballyhoo on Hank Brown and Pirate plugs. Could not go more then a half mile and kept getting stopped by 6-15lb mahi eating the Hank Brown/pink hot shot/dead cigar minnow combo on the downrigger at 55'. After a bunch of those we had only made it to AR368 when we picked up and ran to the hill.
Sunday we decided to fish south around the 30/30 on some of the ledges down there and found a decent bite of kings, mahi, and false albacore. Worked the area pretty good with a few other boats also picking away at the fish with all boats in the area reporting kings and mahi. Tried a bottom drop but with the current and the afternoon breeze it made it had to stay on the ledges and only had a few pinkies and sea bass to show. Again the hot ticket was the Hank Brown/pink hot shot/dead cigar combo on the downrigger at 45'-55'. Had all the kings that way, the mahi and alberts came off the lime green pirate plug/cigar combo on the rigger.
