C-belle July 28 1st King

Post by rx fisher »

Left break of daylight from c-bell, weather looks good and full moon effects, hopefully finished. We are on Mark's Grass Shack, 28foot Seafox twin 225's.
Got good number of pin's in the bay and a couple dozen cigar minnows around the towers, no hard tails could be found.

headed out to 95 feet (40 miles), Now the good stuff Got our limit of Red grouper
in about 30 minutes
Image
Gags were a little harder to come by,at least 5 to 1, we release another 2 limits of nice reds.
Picked up some nice Red snapper, a few mangroves.
The bite never really slowed, if you had bait on the hook you were getting hits.
I put a liveline out most of the day and had 3 cut offs, but finally landed my first
keeper King. Our really big bites always occurred with Mark thought if might be
time to move. The last few minutes of the day the liveline went singing and
This was my reward.

The kings are smoking on the grill this morning, :lick: Mark really hooked us up to some nice fish, the weather was perfect,not to calm to be too hot and not too rough to beat you up..Great Great day with good company.
