Well, its gone. :banghead :grin
Been trying to get as much fun fishing in as possible in between working so lit out this morning at 0700 and hit the 200-500 range off JUP, and after an hour of trolling some rips with nada, cranked em in and raced out at 46knts to the deep for a run n gun. Ended up 22nm off in no time, but no life, no weed, just greasy slick Lake Atlantic.
Trolled out there for about 45 and nothing...... ran back in to 300 and there was actually a nice rip/line forming up, and about 100 boats all over.
Seas were awesome, day was beautiful, we called it at noon due to lack of bites..... heard of a couple fish here and there but nothing solid. May try to go again Sunday but Booze cruising to Sunfest may win out. :wink

You ran to 22 off and spent all of 45 min fishing out there and gave up?????
Yes, when the boat you are on can cruise at 50mph, and you get out there, and its a dead ocean, ya go back to where you hear of at least a few bites. Could i have stuck around? Sure, but then the afternoon at the pool over looking the ICW would of been cancelled. :grin
Yup. Had it been for 'work' I woulda been chucking live, dead, chunks, festhers, spoons, kitchen sink, etc, ended up with a banded rudderfish and a tilefish and proclaimed 'greatest hire ever' status..... this was a half day runnin' n gunnin' fun trip for me.
I report the good, the bad, the ugly..... if I only posted the good reports, people would think they were just ads....... :wink

This is what sets SCOTT apart from some of the other so-called "captain" regular posters on here that ONLY post when they catch and rarely share any specific Intel.
Kudos SCOTT.

Great point on how fast u can run
My point of view is of running 25 so when I get out there I usually stick around
