How are those small amberjacks? I remember a trip where we caught some up to #60 and they were full of worms. But any time you can beat the water with a 2x4 to call them to the surface is fun.

i DO NOT EAT EM, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE DO.......... THE SIZE LIMIT STARTS AT 30INCH NOW.......... THE SMALLER THE BETTER I WOULD SAY.


THEY FIGHT LIKE HELL THOUGH!!!

that's awesome.... sounds like a great day out...
