My brother just moved by to Tallahassee, so my wife and I took him fishing today. The bite was slow until about 3-3:30pm, but we managed to put a few keepers in the cooler and had a great time on the water with the family. Also, had a blast fighting 2 goliath groupers. My back will be hurting in the morning. Made it home in time to fix fresh grouper fingers and pasta.

Here's a 28 inch one that I put in the cooler.

SWEETTTT them be some nice fishes but you MUST be mistaken about them Goliath Groupers according to them ever so inteligent folks at the FSU marine lab, we don't have any in the Northern Gulf

I've been limited to inshore fishing since early spring and never did much this year.

We were in about 30 ft of water. I've had better luck deeper this summer, but there are still some the shallows.

Good trip! glad you got to go out.

Nice report! Did the water look good enough to dive in?

I was actually about to jump in for a free dive(I always carry my cressi sub), when I saw 4 cudas. The vis didn't look great(maybe 10-13 ft from the surface), so I didn't push it. I think that I'm diving the Exxon Template next weekend, I hope the vis is better there.

Grouper fingers??? Guess you were fishing out from the Fenholloway.

Nice report
