Back in the 80s when we fished the western basin in April, we trolled the 2" hot n tots and the standard size wiggle warts and trolled the deeper water close to the reefs and the fishing was phenomenal. By mid to late may as the water warmed and the fish recouped from spawning, we moved out around West Sister Island to fish.

I have only jig fished the reefs once and for us it sucked. but it is supposed to be great fishing if everything is right.

And remember you can't catch any fish sitting at home so get your hooks in the water!
