Deep Drop Assortment

Fun day. Skipjacks were thick. Ran into the Mahi going to the fishing grounds. BIG Rosies, Hake, and a nice snowy. Can’t find a Barrel fish to save our lives!! One day hopefully.

We have spots from 500-900. We don’t have a bottom machine. Lots of boring days last and lost gear snagging structure trying to find fish. Still haven’t found a Barrelfish. More boring days ahead this year looking for it. It can be very boring staring at the rod tip but we’re addicted to it.

When you do get a barrel first thing hose off
and brush slime off.Nothing better than watching
rod tip bounce.

If the wind ever lays Down again, we’re going to spend the whole day again trying to find one. Not giving up yet!!

 Try bringing your rigs off the bottom a bit for barrels.  One thing I hate when looking for a big pull is rosies plugging up the hooks. 

I applaud your “no bottom machine”.  

Last year to change things up I erased all my numbers (had them backed up) and went out and ran watching my bottom machine like it was the first day ever fishing... worked out pretty good. Had a nice catch of grouper, hogfish and snapper. We are blessed with a lot of bottom where I fish though.

It just reads depth, no bottom definition. We just pick a depth and drop and drop and drop and drop till we find fish. I had seen some fishing show raising there bait like 50 ft off the bottom, didn’t know if they were messing with people or what. We’ll have to try that strategy.
