Fishing report, not catching report.
We saw a small and somewhat suspect weather window for Thurs/Fri so we made the run the the Flower Gardens (105NM) for Hoos. The plan was to fish the evening bite for Hoos then head to a good drop off 350ft to 2000ft in 2 miles and drift for Swords. We were not able to get bait as Galveston still has no bait stands open after Ike. We made bait on the way out, got a few hard tails a few blue fish and 12 nice 12" to 14" S.Macks we thought we were good to go. NADA for the evening troll other than kings, black fin tuna and a few UFO chop offs. Off to the drop, set up three lines a 50ft outside the Hydro Glow, a 200 and a 300 on the tip rod, moon was huge. Worked the tip up and down for a few hours, had a small shark and mad a move to adjust the drift. Kept at for a few more hours the wind picked up to 20+ so we decided to abort the morning troll and head back to the barn, only 120NM in 3 to 5s with yer odd 6ftr for grins. We think we have found a new spot on the charts goes from 1000ft to 4000ftin around 1nm! We will give it another shot ASAP!
