I agree on the time. I have a bunch of buddies who have gone and they always clean up so I figure why not give it a shot

Waiting on details. I might go. Is this a bait trip only or can we jig as well?

Thats pretty shallow. I wonder if you can get them on top water.

If you want ajs you should wait til march. We can hit the wrecks in pompano and get them on almost every drop.

Haha..I'm not besides I don't have the gear to go do it yet. I'm just looking at closer options to catch ajs on top water.

I can't find anything under the captain name you gave me. I guess I'm out on this trip.

I've made this trip with 3 friends of mine. We fished The Canyons which has a depth of 75'. The Red Grouper bite was incredible! No sooner did the bait get down to the bottom...BANG! Those fish would have eaten an old boot on a hook if it were down there. Awesome fishing! Best $100 I've ever spent. It was beautiful out there.

This is my buddy who owns the boat.
