Our team left out of Dauphin Island, Al on our 21 Contender powered by a 250 Yamaha. Our targeted species' included vermillion snapper, king mackerel, and amberjack. We planned on catching our snapper in the morning and troll for some King and AJ in the evening. The winds were 10-12 mph with seas at 2-3 every 8 seconds. Not terrible conditions. We limited out on our snapper fairly quick so on to trolling. Unfortunately we had no luck with the amberjack but the king bite was on fire. We were trolling adult blue runners one on flat line and one on down rigger. Our first king was huge, biggest one we'd ever landed, 51 pounds. Approximately a 45-60 minute fight. After him we managed to land four more big kings in 30-40 pound range. Definitely a successful day on the water for Gulf Money.
