A friend & I departed the Cedar Key dock at 7 a.m. with the goals of catching a few grouper and secondarily developing some Cedar Key grouper numbers. For the last five years Iâ€™ve grouper fished out of Steinhatchee but now have decided to do most of my fishing in Cedar Key.

Ummmmmmâ€¦â€¦. Nothing like grunts, grits, and cheeks for breakfast (and the way to start a day of school).

I forgot to add that it was four days pre-full moon. Of the five grouper I cleaned four had full stomachs containing both small & large sized herrings, while the fifth was empty. What I found to be rather interesting was that none of the five had any fat reserves like I would have expected this time of the year. They must pile on the eating in the fall to build up those reserves cause these five grouper didnâ€™t have any.
