Things were slow today. Stopped at the bouy to catch bait. Not much there, but we managed about 2 dozen. Ran to where we caught fish last week. Went through all our live bait, and 2 boxes of LY's. Lots of shorts, and lots of bait snatchers today. Managed 1 31" red grouper. My brother-in-law went with me today. It's been a while since he and I have fished together. He's good company, and we enjoyed the trip. The highlight of the day was when he brought a 6' nurse shark to the boat. We let the shark swim away with the hook and 6" of leader.

Good company and pleasant weather. It was a good day. Nothing lost, and nothing broke.

Nice. Looked like you had a good day weather wise. You just HAVE to 'work' a new boat! How was the water?

Sounds like you all had fun. It's always good to fish in good company.

DB, 2' chop going out this morning, less than 1' coming in. Ran out at 25 mpg. Ran in at 30 mph. It was nice.
