Left ecofina before sunrise headed out to our ususal 35 foot water area. The sunrise was beautiful and we got out to our area in about 40 minutes.
We did not stop to catch live bait but had some lys and squid. Got to our first spot and anchored close to numbers . Put out some squid and slammmed the Grouper. We had 10 our limit by 1030. They were feeding like mad. Had 1 20 lb. 3: 17.5 lbs, 3 :14.5 lbs and 2 :12 lb and one justy keeper size. 10 lb. I caught 1/2 of the catch. Boy was it a workout. My partner, John wanted to help me pull in one of the 17 lbs afraid I would loose it but I held on tight. It was great! We havent had good fishing but once since the hurricaines./ Went back sunday and cauught 9 Had an extrafisherwooman in the boat on Sunday but was an all day event. They didn't slam it so fast Sunday but still had a Great Day. This must have been the weekend for Catching!
The water was still cloudy and not pretty green like usually. We caught a smoker king bottom fishing also and a large shark on Sunday. All our spots were withing 1 mile on Sunday. We tried trolling but there was too much grass in the water.
We would love to catch some red snapper.... Do you have to go out in 75 feet of water or are some in closer out out ecofina?
