Looking for 1-2 crew on my boat. 24hr trip out of Freeport. Depart sometime Monday 9/21 and get back Tuesday, possibly late. Still looking at forecast for exact timing. Around 100 miles. Mostly jigging. AJ, grouper, etc in 300-400ft of water. Some blackfin tuna at night. Boat is a 26 glacier bay completely redone with brand new 200 mercs, all new everything including life raft, epirb, AIS, etc. Fishing spots that Ive fished before. Total cost depending on if we run with 3 or 4 foks will be between $240 and $300 per person for gas, ice, bait. Do not need to have any gear. Do need at least a little offshore experience to know if you get seasick.

One of these days I'll be able to join you. Forecast looks great.

We could have used another gun. Ended up with just three of us. Got some nice AJs, 2 yellow mouth grouper, our snapper, and 7-8 blackfin.

Water wasnt slick but was nice enough for easy cruising. Still pretty hot out there but not as brutal as August was.

What's the jig in the AJ?

Some 12 oz grouper jigs I got on clearance. I'll have to see if I can find the link. Took the factory hook off and rerigged with two 13/0 heavy jigging hooks. For some reason the AJs love them, even worked slow. Hit on the fall a lot of times. Nice for when you get tired of jigging a normal jig. They blow out pretty bad so only works if the drift isnt too fast. Add a 6" gulp to them if the snapper arent too bad.

I started using these (wish the guy still made them) over snapper slapper as they don't scope out as much in current. Crazy how much a 7 oz. snapper slapper can scope out in 100 foot of water.

Big thank you to CS78 for putting me on the fish, yet again! Dude's got saltwater in his veins and couldn't be a nicer guy. If y'all ever get the chance to go hunt/fish w him, take it!
