Sunday: An unfinished vehicle repair kept us from camping with the Cub Scouts over the weekend in Jacksonville so we shifted gears and borrowed a friends boat (SanMan’s 17 ft Boston Whaler Outrage (Caystone). Pulling it with our small 4Runner we headed to Cedar Key looking forward to pulling stone crab traps and hopefully a little grouper fishing. We hit the ramp at about 1130 hours and even found a place to park next to the ramp (no small feat on the weekend). We then motored out to catch bait. Bait fishing was hot and it didn’t take long to secure 35-40 large pigfish, medium pinfish, and a few squirrelfish in the live well.

We stayed shallow and worked two numbers found this spring. After we put four keepers in the cooler we needed more cooler space so we stopped fishing and began working our stone crab traps and rebaiting.

Right before we stopped a freind came over and we invited them to fish on these spots. They had just finished the day fishing in the GOFC Offshore Learnament held a little further offshore.
