Are these rigs far enough out for wahoo, tuna or marlin? Looking for suggestions as to which rigs to troll next week. Thanks!

Caught many a yellowfin, dolphin, and wahoo at ELF. Should be fine!

Bert,
Yes they are as I have caught both tuna and Hoo's there, Also, the biggest shark I have ever caught was at elf, 8-9'er.
I believe Deepwater Millenium is in that General area also. I was inside BP 109 last weekend in Bluewater, only got 1 30# Mahi and a bunch of Rainbow Runners along a beautiful weed line. Going out of Grand Isle this weekend.
I know a lot of the Venice Charter guys are running out of tiger to the west for Tuna,Mahi,Bills.

Tagged a 400 lb. blue and a sail the same day at Lena last year. Caught a white just north of Elf. Caught lots of tuna at both rigs. I have caught more hoo closer in, both Cognac and Amberjack. I always liked to go out South Pass and hit Cognac, Lena, Elf, and finish at 989. Actually, 989 is probably one of my favorite rigs. Good luck - wish I was going!

Thanks for the info Cuda.

Now can someone tell me either the gps coordinatesof these rigs or where I can find them? I must be brain dead because I have googled and searched the net for the coordinates and come up blank. I'm really surprised, you would think they are posted somewhere out there.

Got a Hiltons chart? Look for Amberjack {109} Matterhorn {Elf}. I'll go out to the boat in a little bit and get the #s for you. Also look at this :http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...g?t=1179575746

Please go get a block and rig chart from Walmart, Academy, Venice Marina, Circle K , whatever----everything you could want to know is listed on them. Get a hilton's atlas or something, but you really shouldn't go out there without them.

BTW---you can't economically get to Elf from Tiger pass
