North Key Largo May 24-25 2013
Headed south late Friday afternoon to set up in North Key Largo to fish the bottom. It was the full moon and I figured we would do well. We would be staying overnight on the boat.
Got to our first spot in about 100' and there was no current. None. Chum was not even coming out of the bag! Moved a few times south and no current. Very frustrating. Finally made it to the Elbow at about midnight and decided we would stay there regardless. Put out the last live gog I had and it got hit by a large mutton. Went to sleep in about 5' of water and after waking up headed north near the whistle buoy. Was able to net about 15-20 huge ballyhoo in 65' and sent them right down, but caught nothing. Drifted, moved and nothing. When the weather turned bad at around noon on Saturday we came in. Caught one small mutton and this one. Saw a part of a floating Cuban raft in 80 feet or so and thought there could be something underneath but we were wrong. It was too fresh.

They ignored the ballyhoo and fresh mackarel chunks. The pinfish wouldn't last long on the bottom before getting hit.
