Specs at the rigs!!

[slabulator]

Went fishing with a buddy Friday May 4th and again Sunday May 6th at some rigs out of V. bay and man the water was awesome and calm we hit the rigs about 7:30am Friday am and started catching specs as soon as the first bait hit the water! The only problem we had was it was full of Spanish mackerel it took heavy weights to get pass them and then you could catch the specks. We had a lot of 3 to 6lbs specs hitting the floor to the boat!!! Had to go the work that afternoon so we left early with about 40 specs we should have had more but the mackerel were bad spent more time re-tieing our lines . Went back on Sunday and we got there about 6:30 am and the bite was slow had to jig really hard to get them to bite. fished til 9:00am with only 17 specs it the boat so we decided to go look for Mangrove snapper we hit the first rig in about 55 feet of water and the Red snapper were thick (wish we were in june because we had some nice size red snapper and no mangrove ( I wonder where they get there data for the limit because we had no trouble finding Red snapper). Hit another rig and we could see the mangrove but only got one to take the bait, you could see them just looking at your bait. left there and went back to the speck rig and it was on like donkey kong every cast we ended up with 60 big trout and it was time to go. We caught them on plastic and live cacahoes. Cacahoes worked better because the Spanish mackerel hit the plastic more often.
