red/white plugs are always the go to for me. i donno what it is, but the fish kill it over here.
Have you used Mann's Stretch 25s for Mackeral? That is all we use and do really well. Believe it or not the ones in pink tend to produce the best.

I use those to troll for striper in lakes in north Georgia. Those and the stretch 20s both work really well in summer when it is hot.
I didn't post anything worthwile on last weeks fishing trip because I left my camera on my friends boat. We didn't catch anything unusual either (outside of the typical sharks). I put my dead pbass to good use in hopes of trading up to a bigger fish. I went trolling with him 
Didn't catch anything with him though.

This weeks trip yielded tons of black sea bass. We tried a reef twenty miles offshore called East Eleven. We picked a spot off an eleven foot ledge on the reef. There weren't many fish showing up on the depth finder, but they started to bite soon after a few offerings of chum. The feeding frenzy escallated to hauling in a fish only seconds after the bait hitting the bottom. My side of the boat was more productive than my friends side, but all of a sudden he started catching them as fast as I was. It didn't last long for him though. His hard hits started to end mid-fight. He started pulling up fish heads. 
I put one of the smaller fish I caught on a hook and dropped it over the side. This guy is what came up on my line (notice the fat belly).
There were four of these barracuda hanging out under our boat. We eventually packed it in and trolled home. (didn't catch anything trolling).

Here is the days keepers. The smallest fish was about 11 inches. There was almost nothing on the fillets though 
I tossed back an 18" red snapper but later found out that it was a black finned snapper. The only difference is a dark spot at the base of the peck fins...and there isn't a size limit. Reds have a size limit of 20" in the Atlantic.
