AJ' s Galore
By wavepounder
NC Waterman
Had a run to the FPT Sat. with Scotty, Tommy and Tommy's son Austin. We knew the water temp. was low for kings but decided there could be some black sea bass around. Austin (15 yrs old) had never been offshore so I thought just seeing the tower would be a good first trip. As soon as we put lines in (water temp. 62.5 as predicted) we had 2 AJs on right away. Decided to catch something a little better to fry up so we dropped to the bottom and the bsb were waiting along with grunts and more Amberjack. Had great day on the water and the AJs wore Austin out. His comment was, I'm ready to go back anytime, this beats the heck out of spots and croakers.
Reef donkeys sure do pull don't they.

This guy showed up.
Got back to the ramp around 4. Had good sport pulling in AJs and releasing them. Brought back some good meat in black sea bass and Grunts. God is good.
