Got invited off shore Tuesday-
Weather was messy early - choppy and windy. We stayed in close and caught bait. LOTS of pin-fish.
The most exciting thing was this baby cobia that hit squid on a bait rig.
Although we never caught one, That means the big boys should be around!!
The wind started to lay mid morning and we made a run out to K tower and played with the amberjack.
They were willing and eager to bite. Dang those fish fight hard!
A fun pic with my girls back home: They were excited to see a fish longer than they are
Grouper were finicky. We caught some shorts and only one keeper... Not sure what is going on with them.
I did bring back a box of Grunts and BSBs. To me catching those little fish make the run out worth it.
Water temps were 72-73 everywhere we ran. Saw lots of bait and some schools of Macks or Bonita too.
It should be on fire over the next couple of weeks
