Been having pc problems but, finally got back on line. Still don't have the pictures downloaded. Anyway got offshore both days with my son and his girlfriend. Went SW of O tower both days and fished in 75' - 100' of water over both structure and live bottom. Must have caught 25-30 red snapper in the two days and only one made the cut. Caught similar numbers on the grouper with two keeper reds on Wednesday. Thursday wasn't any better with one legal red and one legal gag. Wednesday's big fish, a 36" cobia, was landed by Samantha to save the day. On Thursday my son bettered her with a 46" cobia. The cobia ate live pinfish. The snapper and grouper went for a mixed bag of live bait, squid and Lys. Weather and seas were smooth both days . Don't think I have ever caugth so many shorts but, great time on the water with my family

And for the individual that is missing what looked to be an entire spool of 8-10# ande back country, I found it for you. I had to pull the prop on my port engine in order to cut it all off

At least it didn't eat up the seal.
