Joefisher and I left the Fort at about 7:00a. COLD!! Fished several areas, furthest being about 6 miles south of 24. Limited on grouper (all gags) by 1:00p. Biggest fish was a hefty 29 incher caught by me. All fish but one caught on cut LY's, the other on a blue/chrome stretch 25.

Anywhere from 5 to 20. Now's the time to get into consistent fishing in the 10 mile range out of St. Marks. Find an area with good hard bottom and some scattered rocks and it really doesn't matter the depth. Look on any of the NOAA charts for areas that say "RKY", "H"(ard), or "CO"(ral) and fish these areas. Just ride and look and you'll load your GPS with numbers.
