Offshore Bluewater Fishing Trip April 2011

Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, Al.- On this exciting deep-sea fishing trip we had some old regular customers that were ready get offshore and go chase some Offshore big game fish.  We left out on Wednesday afternoon right after we finished up our morning 6 hour trip. 

We ran offshore and caught some Amberjacks before dark to get some blood pumping and to have some fun!  We then moved on offshore to our first offshore destination and found the big Blackfins to be biting like mad!  The guys were using relatively light tackle in comparison and had a ball jigging.  We then rode further on offshore to the next offshore oil rig to try our luck and not much was happening there so we went on further to another rig and arrived just before day light.  The blackfins were biting good until Roland hooked a big Yellowfin Tuna on a jig and the fight was on!  After a good long battle the fish showed and Chris and Barry gaffed him and brought him on in.  We then Started trolling and on our first pass by the rig we were on again!  This time with a little bigger fish on heavier tackle.  After a 45 minute fight we then landed a nice Yellow fin Tuna. 

We then went on a search mission for a big grass line and perhaps a big open water bite, but neither one of them came to be.  Right at dark we started fishing around a deepwater oil rig and the guys continued to have a great time jigging.  At about 2 am we started heading back in to the dock and arrived about lunch time.  It was a great time and a good trip for Roland and the Guys!  

Thanks to all the guys for all the fun times and great food.  We had big steaks,  king crab legs, pulled pork, man it was fine!  Again many thanks
