Me & fishin partner left marina @07:00 with squid,mackerel & span sardines in the cooler stopped on the flats caught a few pins for the livewell :-D then off we go into very choppy/rough 2-3' :o with a 4' now & then just to make sure you were paying attention.Get to destination in 39' bottom looks good marking fish mostly baitfish.Catch a couple of pinkmouth, 4' tiger shark. Next stop 42' get 14" black sea bass,2 18" triggers couple more grunts & 1or2 squirrel fish at most stops. Same story every stop 43' 45' 50' 55' we had a pin under ct behind the boat that never got hit also pins & squirrelfish never got hit on the bottom did not catch a grouper at all not even a short.Everthing caught was on squid or mackerel. Water temp 82-83,Oh yeah the seas calmed down to very nice 1-2' about lunch time to almost calm later.Start seeing a storm building on the xm between keaton,steinhatchee & hwy 19 so we head in with
