Offshore from Econfina, 5/28- 5/29

Post by Frank Bradfield »

Saturday & Sunday produced good catches again, 2 days, 18 keeper grouper, 1 nice king. 13 of which were Red Grouper. Bait, pinfish & LYs , squid. Depth, 38 - 55 ft. Checked again by the FWC , 3 x in 2 trips, getting kinda used to it, they see us and just can't believe we know the limit on red grouper. They have been nice though. We back dove some of the spots on Saturday , water temp was 82 in 38 ft, about 30ft vis and 78 on the bottom in 55 ft a nice thermocline at 25 ft or so with about 40ft vis once you broke through the 1st 20ft. Saw lots of small grouper and some shootable reds but didn't need any of them, so we just enjoyed the dives.

Good job Frank :thumbup: Just out of curiosity, how far (distance) do you have to run from Econfina to hit 38 ft? Is that generally due South or do you run South West, South East, Etc.?
