We encountered it at every stop we made. Well the guys were having a good time despite the slime. The seas were gracious all day and the water temp was 78-80. We also tried Ly's, squid, and sardines as well as the live bait. We had bites on everything as long as you could get the bait to the bottom for a few minutes without getting slimed. My rule for the day was, if you havn't got a bite in a couple of minutes, pull the bait up and clean it. 
We also got in on some AJ action but none quite made the cut. It was tough for Ed who caught a pair of them, his first, to have them go back just a little short. It was a great day on the water, the company couldn't have been better and there was enough fish for all.Final tally was 10 keepers, 28" being the biggest, with a couple of barely legal red grouper rounding out the catch. Of course, we had alot of shorts and few ruby lips thrown in for fun.
