Had business meetings in Bermuda this week and was able to get out one day offshore to the Challenger and Argus banks. Plan was to catch wahoo and yft trolling, but no luck. So, we anchored over a reef area and caught amberjack, triggerfish, red hind, and even a tiger shark in the 8 foot range. It was satisfying getting the shark boat side, but the fight was long and painful. Lots of other misc reef fish too.

Nice reef donkey!
Thanks. It definitely lived up to the nickname. Sore arms by days end. Caught some smaller amberjack butterfly jigging with a Shimano Saragosa 14000 on a Trevala jigging rod which worked very well, but didn't help the sore arm situation.
Looks like you had some fun Westii, very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
