The fishing was pretty good all around on the bottom and at the rigs. Ling and amberjack were hitting pretty good but most of them were undersized. I got a nice 20lbish snapper and filled the limit with smaller ones as well as a ling and nice amberjack. I will try to post a picture with the fish and my boy if it lets me. I took my 4 year old and he did great on the trip. I was proud of the little trooper. All of the larger fish were caught on live perch in the 4" range. Any larger and they would not take them and the dead bait brought in the smaller fish. It was nice weather and fair 3' choppy seas. I am glad I took my 6/0 and 9/0 because everyone else with the boat gear got brushed off on the rigs with bigger fish or their line broke because it was **** line. the snapper was caught on the 6/0 with no prob and the ling and amberjack were caught on the 9/0 without a problem either. It was fun fighting 22lb drag but it was done and they were horsed in without a hitch.
