Monday on the Big J

[Hookmanski]

A buddy and I took the special trip on the Big Jamaica on Monday, headed out after some bonito and albies. First drop we had a ton of species but not the ones we were looking for. In the first 10 minutes between my friend and I we caught sea bass, sea robins, chub macks and even a fluke all on epoxy jigs.

The next stop we had some Albie action with some people even tripled up on them. I hooked up with one and fought it for awhile until he unfortunately popped off the hook That would be my only chance at one all day. Glad I at least got to feel what it was like! Definitely the hardest fighting fish I've ever had on my line. I'll be looking for them in the surf this year too.

We moved around a good amount looking for fish, everywhere we went someone was catching them, just not us! We continued to pick away at macks and robins/bass though which was still a ton of fun. I love it when macks are in the slick, they just go crazy!

Great day out on the water! I have really fell in love with saltwater fishing, can't wait until I have enough money to buy my own saltwater boat I'd kill for a 17-19 footer to take around the bay and even the ocean on super calm days. Tight lines fellas!
