C-Belle 7/26, 7/28

[Reel Fun]

A sad 2 days off shore.....7/26- went SW 73ft regular honey hole, only managed 2 keeper snapper, 1 nice trigger. Also tried C tower, came back to 65 ft, 55 ft....nada, current was extemely strong all day. A guide at the mornings said he also had a very slow day(made me feel a little better). 7/28- went S-SE 65ft honey hole...nada, then hit bryson reef..75-80 ft got 6 big hits (bottom fishing) drifting different areas, stand up rods, bent completely double....did not get a single one in the boat. A third of the way up....then back into the "stuff" and break off , 2 other spots, 60-65ft...1 snapper, lost 2 kings .....both days fished with mostly live pin fish (had plenty), squid, ly's..did not catch(put in the boat) a single grouper..short or otherwise Never did this poorly....I have heard 100ft+ is where to go....I truely enjoyed both days with family and a good friend.

I know what you mean,I can't remember a time when i didn't at least catch some shorts anyway.I hope it get's better soon like tomorrow weather permitting.

Oh well, guess you gonna have to get back out there and do it til you get it right.
Sounds like y'all had a good time and that's what counts.
Good report, thanks.

I have heard 100ft+ is where to go

That is correct...or just short of it. Very few gags out there though. Definitely some nice Reds making the ride home.

Glad you had a good time with family and at least a little something to eat
