Beautiful day. Picked up a few hard tails, razor bellies, and threadfin, then started working our way south. There was slime all over the bottom in 50 ft, but it began to clear at about 60. Morning bite was slow. Played with the AJ's at the Exxon, all short, all released, all quickly consumed by the cudas. At about 11 am, they turned on. We stayed in about 90 feet and got our limit of gags and reds, one gag at 31". Live bait, fresh dead bait, frozen bait, it didn't matter. One red snapper and one big trigger fish came off the few live cigar minnows we could find. Did not flat line as we were making short drifts and never anchored. Water temp 78, clarity good ouside 70 feet. Saw a couple of flying fish, no weedlines yet.

'Twa a nice day on the water, other than being hot with no breeze. The wind indicator at the O tower wasnt even budging.


That wasn't you in the Scarab with the twin Mercs running out there? Whoever it was driving needed to trim those motors down...you could hear the prop cavitation bad from behind and the boat was porpoising on slick water.
