the power of the YOYO
if there is anything i've learned since moving here it's to forget about picking the locals minds when it comes to fishing. especially fish that are so closely related to the ones i already targeted on the west coast.
Today my buddy and I picked a spot that seemed fishy. i brought a rod to catch bait and troll crank baits on the way out plus one set up with a dropper and 40lb floro just like i would for yellows and also a light yo yo rig with 50lb braid and 20lb floro. used a sumo Jr in scrambled egg. the locals out there gave me a few looks and one just couldn't understand why i was reeling that jig up and down all morning. well here's part of the reason. baby amber jack. i got another just a tad bigger. african pompano. I also managed a 12-15lb red snapper but my buddy was busy at the time so i didn't get a pic. he is making video though, so that should be up tomorrow. also lost a couple fish. of course they all felt wayyy bigger than the ones i landed. YoYo, the next big thing in the gulf.
