Overnight Trip to PULLEY'S RIDGE in THE GULF OFF MEXICO

We finally had a great weather window for us to go to Pulley's Ridge to do our first overnight trip on the Side Chick. I was finally able to get my biggest Queen snapper on the SPJ in 800+ ft.
Check out the video to see how our trip turned out.

Beautiful catch, but you Florida boys crack me up with those 20lbs Tuna. 🤣🤣🤣

[@flnative7553]

unfortunately we dont get the big yellow fins Louisiana and blue that the northern Atlantic guys get. We are stuck with the black fins and they average 20 lbs with the bigger ones at 30. Plus its hard to just pinpoint them on a trip, we get plenty just not any size to them.

[@CHOPSUEYFISHING]

Thanks! Yea,i wish we get them yellowfins and blues here. But we are lucky to get some blackfins. Otherwise it'll be a different story, well atleast in the Southern part of FL. Lol

[@yugoyankoff-vh7in]

The waters are too warm to attract the large ones.

[@wolfsvision940]

@flnative7553 Yo I get it you can't catch what's not there. What I'm talking about is every time someone catches a nice 20pounder there calling out 30 35 that's all. You take what she gives you some days the ocean is one tough lady!!

@@wolfsvision940 yea, he was a 22lber,but yes, we will take it lol

That's what using an underpowered jigging rod for the size jig you are using ....looks like. Rod doesn't reload.

[@CHOPSUEYFISHING]

That rod was rated for a 250g jig, the jig I was using was a 240g jig. So I wouldn't say it was underpowered.

[@bryantculler3468]

@@CHOPSUEYFISHING Definitely underpowered then. jig ratings on rods don't mean for "all depths". I would never use a rod rated for a max of 250g in 700ft of water regardless of the weight of the jig I was using. You can still catch fish but you aren't getting the jig action you could with a heavier rod.

[@CHOPSUEYFISHING]

@bryantculler3468 yea that was all I had for an spj rod on that trip. I use what I'm comfortable with,with the jigs I use and they work fine. We have ones that are a bit heavier,but on these trips we have so much gear already,there is no room to bring 3 extra spj rods. Lol
