I decided to prevent dry rot today, and made a solo run offshore while the weather was favorable. I launched my boat at The Barge Canal about an hour before daylight, and I ran straight to 70 feet and got my Red Snapper limit quickly on a jig. Not really big, but big enough.
Then I started trolling for "whatever". Orange skirted Ballyhoo on the left rigger, 4" bullet jig with a small curly-tail on the right rigger, and a big diving plug long down the middle.
Had a good hit on the plug that pulled off after running off a good bit of line, Probably a big King. After that it was all on the small lure on the right rigger. Got 8 Little Tunny about 10 pounds each. Kept one for future strip baits and released the rest.
Had a good ride back in on glassy water.
The water temperature was 86 out deep, and 90 back in 30 feet.
