Greetings All,
We were blessed with a Pretty day for offshore fishing Saturday before the wind picked up and shifted around. We left the dock at 6:00am to a FLAT smooth ocean.
First drop of the day and look what poped up.
The entire morning the BIG GROUPER were chewing but Bee-Liners and other fish would just Pick at it. A few fish here and a few fish there.
Then we caught another one of THESE nasty ol things.
Lion Fish SUX! and his a BIG one.....
OK...BAck to the Grouper...
This last one was pushing 30 lbs.....
The wind picked up about 12:00 and the bottom fish bite was on. All in all it was a GREAT day on the water but I bet the ride home was a little bumpy in a small boat.
Tally on the day.....4 State Citations (Over 20 lbs), 1 more Iffy State Citation and 2 in the high teens. Plenty of Beeliners and Triggerfish to fill out the catch.
You can see all the pics from the trip here....

Our next trip is a Day trip Saturday April 21st leaving the dock at 6:00am. Call 800-775-7450 to book your spot.
Dave

If Ya'll catch them...KILL THEM! Do not throw them back live.

They will put an ugly sting on you so be careful when handling them. You should also report them here....
