The last two weeks have been cut and dried...really the same catch every day. We would try trolling out to the East hitting every rig withing 40 miles of South Pass and then spend the afternoon bottom fishing. Plenty of cobalt blue water but we had not really got on the wahoo like we had compared to last year. Using a mixed spread of Brain Murauders and Islander ballyhoo on long lines and downriggers we avergaed 1.5 wahoo per day. Most of the hoos went 25-40 pounds. We had a few balckfins mixed in and even 5 mahi on Saturday.
The amberjacks have been eating us alive on top and on the bottom. I think we caught 12 on topwater plugs. We were also able to catch 2 on flyrods one day, the largest 23.25 opounds will set the bar for the species on fly gear for Roger Delrio of Baton Rouge. 3 Attempts were made by Susan Gros to beat the existing IGFA Women's world record of 22.4 pound on 20# tippet, but all three fish she hooked broke off. The grouper have been feeding as well too. We have been taking all of our deep jigging close to the platform legs averaging 4 or 5 nice gags and scamps per day.
Things are simmering down in the Delta right now and we expect the pot to boil over soon. Check out the pictures on the web site at http://www.paradise-outfitters.comm Until next report....Paradise Outfitters - 504-451-7579
