Went out of St Marks last saturday , April 3rd and caught 6 nice grouper trolling 30 ' stretches in 35-37 foot water. Had on 3 on at same time. What a thrill. The colors that worked the best were the green striped tiger baits from Manns. Caught on gold and black also and bright orange with dark top. Got too rough and couldnt stay out too long but going back this weekend. Fished in the area known as the nursery.

MOved away from the big bend but nothing is like it. So we come bace every wkend and based out of ecofina river. Leave out of ecofina when the tides are right.

Have caught 24 lb grouper trolling with these same green. Most fish hit these. HOpe the big fish move back in soon.

Good job and a very nice report Carla. :D It's nice to hear from the ladies. We are slowly recruiting more. Sea Gurl actually jumped into a tournament last weekend. Came in second with her team mate. We can always use more ladies on the forum. :thumbup:
