St Marks - last day of grouper fishing
Posted: February 1st, 2009, 12:09 pm
At least we had a good weather day for last day of grouper fishing. I left the fort after paying my $5.00 launch fee
Made it out to 35' in record time due to calm conditions. The 2 fish limit on gags was in the boat rather quickly so we made a short day of it. A red grouper followed one of our gags up but we struck out on reds. Mostly trolling a stretch 30 but did drop down a jig in hopes of catching the red grouper. Nothing doing. All fish caught trolling.
A dozen nice sized claws from the traps and we had the makings for a big-time feast last night
.
I guess we'll all be living off memories for the next couple of months.
