Howzit Guys,
I headed out to sea on the Pirogue (yeah the same pirogue which has a 15hp motor with no bolts to connect it to the transom, and only two thin frayed ropes tying it down) on Sunday full of optimism as I obtained coordinates for 8 shipwrecks to jig on in the area. The plan was to do a bit of trolling out to the drop off 12 miles out with live bait then work our way down to the wrecks.
I found some awesome drop-offs from 80m down to 165m out in the deep and there were fish showing on the sounder, but no love on the drop.
After a good number of downs I packed it in and headed in to shallow water where the wrecks are and had some unreal readings on the sounder from the wrecks, but every one that I went to had nets and long lines all over them; so much for them being secret points!
Fished hard the whole day, but not even a touch; I am now convinced that the ocean over here is just totally cleaned out.
Well this aint no catching report, more like a general interest post. (Excuse the excessive HDR, some of you may find it offensive; the sky was so gray I had to spice them up somehow)
Pre-trip preparation
Reels..
Jigs & Lures..
Assists..
These are really cool light tackle pliers and are as sharp as hell...
On the water..
Off the water..
Cool nature geometry..
