fourchon aj help

[haoward]

I will be making my 1st aj run out from frouchon sat. How deep and which direction to head?how do you catch them? Bottom feeder or mid water?

[Clampy]

Head south west in 150 2 250 foot of water live hardtails. They usually suspend at a certain temperature just check the grass for them and drop a live hard tail down to where there are and hold on because they are catching some big one

[Clampy]

Damn voice to text.
Grass - graph*
150-250*

[haoward]

Should I try th rigs for them or just stop in the open and drop bait?

Get close to the rig on down current side. Drop down with a big live hard tail. And just let the current take you away from the rig.

[Clampy]

Might take a good bit of weight to get down past the undesirables.

Make sure your not tied to the rig. Have person in back with pole. Back up to rig(if it's deep 300-600') then u don't have to get real close. Fishermen drops live bait with heavy enough weight to get it down #10 circle hook 3-400# mono leader. Once fish grabs bait put boat in gear and drag the fish away from the rig. Once the fish is away from the rig u can fight it without being broke off in the rig.

We left the drag to tight on a big reel last time.
Damn AJ almost ripped the rod holder out of a 32' proline before he broke 100# power pro.

[BayBolt23]

Good luck and be safe out there Haoward!!

[haoward]

Will do thanks to all for those tips

[Visco]

Good luck.

I was not going to be on the water this week, but a buddy of mine is there right now and is saying the water and wind is perfect... so now I am leaving at 0300 to head down. Will put in at Myrtle Grove and then cruise to GI from there. Will play it by ear on if we hit the shallow rigs or stay in for trout.

There is suppose to be a west wind shifting to west north west, so seas should be fairly calm.

What channel you guys normally listen to?
