New spots are always exciting, and what better way to explore than with a jig! The morning started off great with plenty of opelu to go around. Soon after stocking up I pushed out to explore the terrain. There was a lot of great structure including ledges, plateaus, and pinnacles. With the help of my Garmin Echomap UHD2 and G51 Transducer, I was able to get on some fish. Dropping down deep is always a rush, as you never know what you're gonna get, and I just can't seem to get enough of it. I managed to hook into a nice size mahi, a new pb kahala (amberjack) and a few other fish.

Enjoy!
