Both unders and some large overs still biting

The wind has picked up for now, but over the last few days there was a lot of bluefin killed! A handful of some healthy unders in the mix, but we saw some hammers come in as big as 72.5” which is a dream fish it weighed 248 lbs!! Shad Darts crew also stuck a nice 66” butter ball, and ended up going 6 for 7 killing their limit and releasing the rest! So the fish seemed to have filled in nicely as they continue migrating south and staying on the bait and structure. We have reports of people seeing them airing out from as close as Bass Grounds and Femwick Shoal to African Queen and the Jack Spot, to the 12 fathom lump, the key is picking an area you wanna work and using your sonar to work the lumps and structure! There are nice lumps both inside of and east of Jackspot that also hold fish, there’s lumps around African Queen that hold fish, Twin Wrecks has a few different lumps and shelves you can work, but working the structure, marking bait, and looking for life is your best bet. Skirted Ballyhoo on the troll still seems to be most productive, some guys are using smalls, some using selects, heads anywhere from 3oz to 5oz to 8oz some guys using all of them and staggering them running 4-6 rods maximum with some only running two! Spreader bars and side trackers will most likely result in a bite from a skippy or albie maybe even an under bluefin, but in our opinion you’d be better off with skirted ballyhoo. Also Jeff took a run to the Washington and found a piece of water he scoped out on the SST shot that was warm as 73 degrees and slid right over the canyon, they saw tons of mahi and then yellowfins airing out everywhere on what appeared to be small ballyhoo, but we were later informed they are called “halfbeaks” and are more common in the northeast than down here, unfortunately Jeff and the crew only managed one bite that came off but was still a cool site to see this time of year!
