Two of us squeezed in a quick trip before the front arrived. Ran out to 110' on flat seas. No bait at the O or the S. Immediately boxed 4 RS, then nothing but shorts. Worked our way back in picking up a couple of 25" gags and one more 20" snapper. Headed back and was met by 20 kt SW wind at the pass. Snapper came off frozen sardines and cigar minnows. Keeper grouper only hit the few live squirrel fish we could find. Water was 70 degrees and tannin stained all the way to the O. 69 degrees and clear at the S. Steady rising tide and ripping current most of the day.
