Pulled 17 rods (initially - Fish started clearing them for us at a rapid rate for a bit
). Mostly 9's off the boards and some 6" umbrellas off the boat. Umbrellas were hot. Channel edges in the same area we fished last year (and every year). Follow the birds. Not hard. There is a fleet of trolling charter boats and light tackle jiggers chasing them too. Hooked up on 3 big fish. Big fish came off of board rods running shallow. Jigging was mostly productive on the bottom and on suspended fish down about 20'. I mostly had the crew go to the bottom and jig back up through the water column. 1.5oz heads with 10" BKDs were best. Most fish caught on the big plastics would classify as keepers.
Could only get two to commit for tomorrow last minute and I am dead tired from todays haul. No fishing tomorrow. Heading to NJ to bring my dads boat back here to sell instead.
Short video of a decent fish on the jig (had to cut short to boat the fish, most were in the 24"-30" range)
