Fall fishing!
Roaring Ditch
Had an absolute blast today! We ran out to the reef and spot locked over a big piece of rubble. We had nonstop action with sea bass, blues, and triggers. The only issue was, everything was short. We made a move to a wreck, but it was devoid of life. We ran further out to another wreck. Again, we found a bunch of short sea bass. We ran even further out to another wreck area. There were sea bass pots all around and we set up a drift between them. There were clouds of fish below. We began by using rigs with bait, but switched up to bounding jigs. Jigging is more productive, and loads more fun. As we were drifting past the one pot we noticed some movement. Turned out to be small mahi. Try as we might, we couldn't catch the little buggers. So, we went back to jigging for sea bass. We were just shy of out two man limit, which given more ti.e, we would've gotten. Unfortunately, time was not on our side. Regardless, we had a blast! The fishing will only continue to improve!
