The Johnny Jigs Team received a text from our friend Aaron Lewis saying, “Let’s go fishing.” Aaron enjoys slow pitch jigging; he booked a charter to Pulley Ridge with Gulf Coast Offshore, and invited us to tag along.
We had an hour and a half drive to the dock and a 4 hour boat ride on Captain Tims 42’ freeman. I can tell you from experience that the bean bag chairs are the most comfortable way to ride on a long trip, but honestly, we didn’t sleep much on the way out because we were fired up to drop some slow pitch jigs on Pulley Ridge.
Immediately we could tell the fish we were keyed in on a specific jig, every drop producing hook ups like you wouldnt believe. The entire day was packed full of excitement and tight lines.

I was counting on Chris to say “now that we’re here, so far away” once you made it to Pulley Ridge! … once you go in your own boat, you’ll never want to go on a party boat again!
What up Johnny and crew? Your livin the dream! 🎣🎣🎣
Great video as always guys! I work with Entertainer Fishing Charters out of Pensacola. Would love to have yall come do a trip up here come red snapper season in June
What size reel is Johnny using? My grandfather got me into fishing, but he passed away when I was 12 so I quit Fishing until I was almost 28 and now it is the love of my life.
Great video
Yep, here in Pensacola, FL (Panhandle) and we call em Mingo, although I have no idea why.
Nice trip! Tim is one of the best!
My Grandfather Barney was smart enough to retire to Marathon where he taught me to catch Kingfish, Grouper and anything that swam. I am the Lucky One !!!!
How many times did Aaron cry?
My uncle Ed took me fishing starting when I was 12 in west central Florida. I'm 67 and love fishing the middle grounds! One of these day's I will fish Pulley Ridge!
My grandfather passed his love of fishing down to me. Growing up in Miami, I learned offshore, inshore, backcountry, freshwater bass and panfish, diving for lobster, shrimping on the bridges and many other kinds of outdoor adventures. He gave me my first boat at 19. It was a little 16 foot Atlantic with a 75hp Evinrude. Man, my best friend and I were all over the place in that boat! Looking back, I now realize that we did some pretty stupid things and were close to death a few times. But we survived, and made some pretty good memories. If I'd seen this video at 19 I can't promise you that we wouldn't have tried to go there. Luckily I'm wiser now and can afford to get my fix on The Yankee Capts. 😁
