Did not stop for live bait, headed out at forty miles an hour, had to slow down about 10 miles SE of birdcage started to get a little choppy, went another 6 miles to 33 feet deep, first spot dropped frozen ly, pulled in 23 inch gag grouper!!!!! Yess ssss going to be a good day, next several minutes lost bait after bait, switched smaller hook, grunts all over the place could not get anything else. Moved to next spot, calmed down again . Finally started catching grouper again!!!!!!!! several shorts before boating a keeper red, then a keeper gag 28inch. Caught 3 more legal red grouper in a row, of course throw back! Let out more anchor, turn motor direction , Repeat procedure Last keeper gag3:00 I am headed in!!!!!!!!!! Absoustly beautiful day on the water completly enjoyed it!
