grouper fishing on the Greenbone

Post by rx fisher »

Didn't know were to post inshore boat, off shore adventure.

Don and I have been looking for the perfect day, when we could take his inshore flats rocket, the Greenbone, grouper fishing. Sunday was the day, after each had gone to church, thanks to Congress and an extra hour of daylight. The weather was perfect we head out from the fort on St. Marks river, 19 miles to our spots and a couple borrowed spots. ( For you true fisherman, yes were inside the 9 mile line). Grouper are funny fish, you have to put the bait right in front of there face, because they stay in rocks and the cold water makes them slow, but for some reason, drag a lure all pretty colored about the size of a coke bottle a 4 knots and they will go crazy. We had a bite in the first 1/2 hour, Don's rod went down, but missed the bite,then mine, but I was hooked to the earth. Cranked down while Don was clearing his line and dragged the boat back to the spot, Never felt any pull until I was right ontop, a nice 29 inch 11 lb Gag.
