Got on the water 8:00 and tried to get some pins but no luck and decided to head out with frozen sardines and squid. Hit the pass and it was glass smooth I couldn't believe it. We ran to 2 close numbers and couldn't find them I mean they were gone, hurricanes buried them I guess. Decided to head to public # in 70' of water. On my first drop bam a big red snapper( my first ever ) put him in the box. We caught 2 more shorts then they quit. But the grouper were hungry, we started catching them pretty steady and stayed put till time to go. I can't believe how such a big fish can bite so soft. I hooked a big one that I couldn't move and he rocked up and got off. Broke off 2 more and caught 12 blacks and gags. If I was as adept at hooking them as I am feeding them we would have caught a lot more. But hey I got fresh fillets in the freezer and had my best time offshore so far. I've been fishing all my life but kind of a newby to grouper digging

Good job, Hit-n-Miss!

Good deal. It'll ruin ya.

And what were those numbers again ..Good job...

Ya'll gonna make me start taking my bottom fishin rig on the Bass boat again That is one fine catch

Very good. Now where would that public # be in 70ft.

WTG Glad you got that big snapper before the end of the season...It will make you cry to throw'm back nice report

It was so smooth you could have taken the bass boat out there A fellow was out there with us wearing out the kings while we bottom fished. We freelinded a bait and lost two but we were concentrating on bottom fishing.
