Barefoot 4-ounce Squid Decoy Jig

Maiden Voyage of the 4-oz. Squid Jig

Maiden Voyage of the 4-oz. Squid Jig

Maiden Voyage of the 4-oz. Squid Jig

The target species for this 1st trip was African Pompano for the new 4oz. Barefoot Squid Jig, but we caught quite a few species. Blackfin on the troll, casting and jigging 75-feet deep, to gag grouper, dolphin, barracuda, amberjack, and of course, African pompano. Great way to start with the latest, and maybe the best barefoot jig yet. No wahoo or yellowfin on this trip, but stay tuned....

The Ultimate Tuna Lure

Maiden Voyage of the 4-oz. Squid Jig

Maiden Voyage of the 4-oz. Squid Jig

Troll, jig or pop, this one does it all! Add a stinger hook and a frozen (or live) cigar, sardine or greenie, and you have a depth charge getting ready to go off when slow trolled

This jig will constantly jump when trolled at 9 or 10 knots with the line is suspended from above like from the outrigger or a kite. Perfect Dead stick bait for the outrigger when chunking

Deep jigging action is the most realistic EVER! Looks and acts like a squid with a (heavy duty) 34185 Mustad hook.

A good haul of fish with Barry while keeping an eye on several waterspouts (water tornadoes) and storms inshore of us. Life is GOOD!!!

July 4th Solo Trip

Bottom Fishing with the Rhodan Motor

Bottom Fishing with the Rhodan Motor

MILES of amberjacks and sharks. Started 50+ miles offshore at a place that is normally a good scamp area in the deeper water, but wound up having to come back inside 8 or 9 miles to get out of the sharks.

Bottom Fishing with the Rhodan Motor

This was the ultimate test with cross current, 10-15 knot winds, and 5-6 foot swells. The Rhodan held the 32 ft cat in place and allowed us to catch some quality fish.  This was a "bucket list" trip for Van... He wanted to catch a grouper. Not only did he catch some grouper, he caught some good ones!
