We did catch some fish in those same areas but I ended up going to an area that hadn't been producing recently and was pleasantly surprised to find a whole new school of silk snapper there for the taking.
The folks got to pull on a couple big cudas but we pretty much stuck with the electrics to make sure this wedding party/vacation party had plenty to eat over the next few days. They will be back on Saturday to fish again and I think the request was to spend some time trying for a sailfish.
