Left mashes ramp and first stop at K tower 7:40 am no bites no nothing. Went out to Bryson had one good fish hit a jig and after about 15 sec the hook pulled

we fished that whole area for 2 more hrs. without another bite, headed northwest and fished another 6 or 7 spots in to 40 ft. with all spots having very good bottom contours and natural features, with out a bite. We had and tryed every bait except live, tuff day for sure but gotta hone up those FISHING

skills sometimes and I guess yesterdey was the day

How late did y'all stay? The afternoon shoulda been the best feed time

Your trip sounds a lot like the one I took with TC last month

I think we all have ta pay homage to the fishin gods every now and then

Speaking of K Tower, back before I enlisted in The Corps a couple other guys and myself would be religously watching Eyewitness news about this time of year. As soon as they reported the water temp at 65, we would be on our way dark and early the next Saturday to K Tower to spearfish amberjack.

This worked about three years in a row, but I don't know for sure if the amberjack still do that.

Wevans, we left at 7am and were back at the ramp at 6pm. I had a couple of boys with me that have never hook an AJ, I thought that by being the the first boat on K and bryson we would atleast catch a few

Sounds like the same luck we had on last trip. What was the water temp, really needs to be 62 or better. Alot of reports that closer in bottom was hammered by the red tide.

Dang PF. Sorry the dern thangs were so close-mouthed.
Strange part of it is, we have days like that, and find out someone else, was out there in a different place and brings um back..
I was just thinkin about it, this morning. 'Got to be some luck involved, or bad luck, on any given day. Probably some science to it too, moon phase or whatever. For sure I never had much faith in fishing calenders.
I guess if we knew it was gonna be a bad day we would just stay home.
That would kinda take the fun out of it, though.
Well, ya got that out of the way, maybe next time.....

Unless the vis has cleared up, they probably had a hard time finding the bait.

The water temp was 62,63 offshore and vis we didnt notice until the sun came up good and by that time we were in 70ft and the water was blue and very clear, say 20ft or so. The wind picked up pretty good so we didnt notice where or at what depth it changed

Sounds like you had conditions for fish, but did not find them.
