My brother and I have been wanting to try our hand at trolling for some grouper. So we marked a day on the calendar about a month ago, which was actually yesterday, and waited. After looking at the forecast yesterday we decided to postpone it one more day.

Slide the Proline in at the fort about 9ish. Headed out the river with high hopes. We were meet at the mouth of the river with some heavy rollers. After some pretty good banging around we decided plan "B" should be put into action.

Plan "B" was to look for some trout. We fished mainly in 4' to 7' of water throwing , grubs, mirror lures, and shrimp. Had some luck with all of them....(yes, I can catch a trout with something other than a gulp).

We made several attempts to head to deeper water and try for some grouper to no avail. Everytime we tried we ran into the big waves and continued with plan "B".

We ended the day with 6 keepers from 15-1/2" to 20". Always great to spend time on the water with family. Tomorrow it's back to work but today was great. Here is a picture of Big brother with his 20" trout

You boys are so damn big you make good trout look small.

Glad you got to spend some quality time with your brother.

Fishing on a Wednesday.. and taking your kin with you.
Y'all should be ashamed!

Sounds like the grouper have to wait for another day but good to get out

Bummer about Plan A,

on plan B

Plan B sounds pretty good to me.

I thought that was you at the fort about 2pm. I had just picked up my boat/trailer after having some trailer work done at Shields. Since I was there, I figured I take the boat for a spin. When I passed the fort I saw somebody getting out of a ProLine, and he looked like the guy who towed me in a couple weeks ago.

I waved to your brother...who didn't look much like skeeter.

sounds like you made the best of it good catch

It's always good to have a plan B.

Y'all done good.

You boys are so big you make the boat look small.

Glad you had fun & were safe.

Man wish I could fish during the week. Sorry I had to cut you off the other day. Had to get of the phone to run a credit card. Good job catchin. You should have took him to your 4.5' grouper hole.

Plan B = 6 keeper trout.... .... man!! There have been times I've gone through the whole "STINK'N" alphabet plan and aint' done that good. Good job

Nice

GTG. Glad somebody is getting out.
