PULLEY RIDGE 150 Mile Offshore Fishing Trip From Fort Myers {24 HOUR CRAZY TRIP} Slow Pitch Jigging

This is the story of a crazy 24 hour non-stop fishing adventure.
We head 150 miles offshore on the Triple Tale (World Cat 320CC) to the Pulley Ridge area in the Gulf of Mexico to do some serious fishing with bottom rigs, slow pitch jigging and using electric reels for deep dropping in 500 ft of water. This slow pitch jigging technique blew us off our feet with success. By far more hookups than the electric reels.
We caught a wide variety of fish. Queen Snapper, Mutton Snapper, American Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Mahi Mahi (Dorado or Dolphin), Tile Fish, Yellow Edge Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Kitty Mitchell Grouper, and a huge Almaco Jack.
Our plan was to spend the night offshore and fish all night and morning but the weather had other plans for us as you can see in the video.

I come back and watch this vid every few months. The vid quality sucks. The editing sucks. And yet, none of that matters! You guys had great fun and killed it! Your joy is contagious. Thank you for sharing! I'll probably watch again in July or so, lol.

[@georgesmith5042]

Haha love the excitement! I get like that too 😂

[@TriniWeekes]

great job my friend

[@deandobbs2727]

Nice catch!

[@josephschoch5463]

Awesome trip fellas! Loved the video. Sucks the weather turned on you, but that's Florida. Tight lines and safety is what it's all about.

[@stevenfischer5392]

Awsome trip guys. Good job getting home safe capt. What a great video, wish there were more like it. Pulley ridge is on my bucket list. Hoping to get a bigger boat next year and do the trip myself. Got me excited right with you lol👍🤙🍻

[@titusmccrary]

Dream trip. I just got a 32’ capehorn with 280 gal of fuel. I’m wanting to do that trip. Great video

[@austinmccullers7506]

Nice Queen Snapper

[@AndyEmerson8]

Austin McCullers my #1 subscriber. Thanks Austin. I saw your video of the shark in Islamorada, cool!!!

[@ehickey73]

Got that organic grocery list nice work

[@Lake2SeaOutdoors]

Awesome Trip! We have to go so many miles and on the east coast they have to go 500 ft in comparison :) Massive reef donkey!

[@AndyEmerson8]

I know!! It takes 60miles to even start to get near the good stuff. Thanks for the comment. Hoping to have some more videos soon!

[@gdebrango]

Weekend warriors. Lol

[@hlwade]

Awesome video! How much better does the WC handle the waves vs a mono?

[@ralphd4879]

Coming outta Ft Myers, did you guys fish the northern parts of Pulley Ridge? All the boats from Key West fish the southern grounds of PR. I'm trying to get a feel for the northern quarter or so.

[@victorfranchini9931]

Great video guys!! What is the make of the fuel transfer pump?

[@elroche18]

How do you find spots like that do you just go out and sonar the bottom?

[@jeremydavis9214]

What charter is this? Been looking for a pulley ridge trip for the longest

[@ricardostuart9775]

Hi....whats the rod, reel and line test used to bag that yellowedge grouper?

[@evanrexroat7492]

Avet sxj on an accurate slow pitch rod with 50lb power pro and and 40lb leader and a 250gram slow pitch jig

[@Evan721sxm]

World cats are a chiropractor's best friend lol

[@efreetilord642]

Great job guys. Whats ur boat fuel capacity.?

[@brianlb78]

Did you have numbers already or did you go there blind and just use the bottom machine?

[@AndyEmerson8]

We have some numbers and general areas to go explore using the sonar. We surprisingly did better when we were exploring.

[@marcoestevam6432]

Nice job. 150mi is not for the faint of heart. I just got a 23' Mako w twins, how far would you take that out of fmb?

[@AndyEmerson8]

I think it depends on fuel capacity use 1/3 to get there, 1/3 to get home, and leave 1/3 of your tank for the unexpected at the minimum. The plus is you have dual engines which are safer. Watch the weather. I appreciate the comment!

[@1955teddy]

whose capt i ready to go

[@dmw6539]

Great Trip Guys! Where did you leave from?

[@AndyEmerson8]

DMW65 thank you! We left from Fort Myers through Big Carlos Pass.

[@BroadBillHunter]

got very rough lol

[@AndyEmerson8]

Was brutal! Haha we were getting delirious 6 hours into the rough ride home. Was so happy when I got home and passed out

[@SERFNUT]

So you tossed the smaller dead Kitty Mitchell ?

[@AndyEmerson8]

Craig P we kept the first one we caught. Vented and sent the second one back down. Can’t remember off the top of my head which one was caught first. Only allowed one per vessel.

[@ibyisabeast]

Damn I thought cats don't slam 😄. Maybe you needed to pick up speed?

[@florocks7761]

Never seen a queen snapper before. No need to scream as if there was an alien invasion.

[@DHKEYWEST1]

If you do not have XM weather you need to get it running 150 miles out. It will save your life.

[@keithdubose2150]

Jeeze the screaming is a bit much

[@tinobertolin]

Must be nice to be rich and afford these kind of trips good job

[@karlkobler218]

Yeah it's really nice to work hard and have a skill set that's valuable to the economy.

[@AndyEmerson8]

Karl Kobler Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks Karl!

[@tk-us1oo]

Buy a boat with a cabin. You can afford it

[@AndyEmerson8]

Like a guided charter? Or do you want me to buy an actual boat that comes with a captain that lives on the boat?

[@trdoffroadguy1684]

Could do without the screaming.

[@thebrain4239]

Drama Queen

[@AndyEmerson8]

I see what you did there LOL
