Offshore Carrabelle

Got some numbers from a buddy, about 2000 in all, so decided to try a few out as we worked our way to O Tower.
Started at a number in 54ft of water. Put 10-15 black Sea Bass in the boat and released 1 nice Red Snapper.
2nd number was a bust. 3rd number ended up being a Sand Perch hole, so we loaded up on live bait.
4th and 5th numbers showed nothing to fish. 6th number put us about a mile from O Tower and held plenty of Red Snapper.
We turned back towards Carrabelle and stopped at a cluster of numbers NW of O. Only had time to fish 1 number as we were pulling fish up every drop. This spot produced a bunch of fish, including a 23.5 and 24” Gag. Some big Red Snapper, 18” Red Grouper. 16” Mangrove and 2 legal triggerfish which we kept and had several break offs.
Ended up catching 5 snapper in the 28-30” range. Hopefully we can find them again in June.
