Slow day for us. We got one on the troll on the same numbers as 10 days ago. After that nada. Lots of guys jigging. The ones we saw catching were using small 3-4 inch jigs on light tackle.

Yeah, we put a few hours in but had a very slow drift. Tried bumping the throttle etc but it wasn’t happening. Had a shark steal a bait and miss the hook. No run off

We ended up with 2 BFT in the boat, 36" & 38" on the troll.
Had another mystery run-off that dumper 1/2 a 50-wide reel, unhooked after 5 minutes.
All fish hooked SE (1.5-2 miles) of the tightly packed fleet, blue/white cedar plugs is what all fish hit.

Had a motor issue so had to leave early so no sharking this trip.

Blue/White Cedars…..nice!

1/2 dumped spools are Exciting! What did that hit???….Cedar, spreader bar, side tracker, birds, etc…?

Good Luck with the engine issues.

All fish hit single Blu/Wh cedar plugs in the middle of the spread.

Motor fixed, water line came loose spraying motor with raw water causing stalling when put in neutral.
