Jig Attempt Pulled It Out on the Troll
Monday, May 6, 2024
Offshore from Hatteras Inlet
Our guys today wanted to jig black fin tunas and the marks had been good so I was encouraged.
We hooked several only to be eaten by sharks about 30 seconds after hooking them.
We had a squall bearing down on us so we ran inshore to try to catch some jacks. We did.
Then we ran back out and tried again for the blackfins on the jig. We found a mark and hooked four, all four eaten by sharks.
Then we tried some deep dropping and jigging and caught a tile fish.
Trying to regroup we decided to troll and caught a dozen nice blackfins a dolphin and a king in the last hour.
