Monger Philly Amberjack Destruction

[jmurr711]

Rowdy crew sailed with Hank & Hunter today on the monger. opted for a late start to let the ocean settle down so we left at 8am. got to the ocean it was not very friendly so before we took off to the eastern ledge of cockolla canyon we looked inshore. Found a giant school of weakies & small blues south of MI. double headers were common just sucks yacan only keep 1 trout for dinner. we kept everybodys 1 weakie & threw back a ton more. sea started to setlle so we started to go offshore, Hank found some really clear warm water on the ay & we did a quick drop to see if porgies or trigs were on this piece but all we found was double header 3lb sea bass as soon as ya hit the bottom......thanks nmfs.

we made our way off set up on the drift started picking a blue here n there & ten boom it was on 3,4,5,6 on at a time just stupid old school fishing. bait n jigs for ginormo gators the kind that eat through jigs & wire leader. everyone caught plenty & were complaining of sore arms! bled the gators & quickly & heavily iced them. meat on these pigs was really nice not overly red at all.

I cannot thank Hank n Hunter enough for this day we had 4 1st time bluefish anglers aboard & they all had a blast. theres a reason why the fishmonger is booked everyday & the effort & customer service is truly top notch.

After doing all this bottom fishing the last two years I forgot how much fun it was to wrestle with the gators. Good food, good company, great fishing!
Seeing Molly Sharks mating was a thing of beauty as well!

My budd from work brought his dad & little bro out & all 3 were monger virgins. All week he has ben asking when my first monger trip is in the spring because he said it was the best day of fishing he ever had & couldn't believe the captain apologized for it being "slow" lol I told him thats what makes Hank the best he is never satisfied with the day he always wants it better for his fares even if only 2 of them are left at the rail at the end of the day as the other 7 had sore arms lol
