Two words, Diamond jigs!!!!!!!!

I was fishing the other day in Fajardo with my good friend Capt. Marcos ,took my boat over to do a charter , and was introduced to the wonderfull world of diamond jigs. I'm sure a lot of you already know how deadly they can be but for me it was a whole new experience. Capt. Marcos was kind enough to let me borrow a couple ,since I had non in the boat, and was insatantly sold on them from my first cast. The mach 1 retrieve with the Bonito was tiring but very effective. That day I also realized that inshore fishing in Fajardo is tricky and had I been sent out on my own in those waters thats probably all we would have seen,WATER!! Its like Marcos told me "the fish around here are not where they are supposed to be". That afternoon we not only cought Bonito but also Tarpon and Yellow tail.
After that trip I went out and bought every single diamond jig I could find and brought them over to Vieques. And wouldn't you know it that the Bonito over here love those too! I also found out, for myself ofcourse I'm sure its well known else where, that a lot of other fish like those diamond jigs too!
My hats off to Capt. Marcos for the tough but very productive fishing he does in Fajardo. I will also be ever gratefull for showing me around the waters around Fajardo and for opening me eyes to Diamond jigs!! Many thanks!!!

Keep 'em tight!!!

Franco
