Nice grouper on the half day

Water temps are getting back to normal and the fish are ready to feed ! If you never caught a gag grouper like this one now is the time to go. Season is closed on the gags however plenty of good eating reef fish just waiting for a bait. Red and scamp grouper are in season so you still have a chance at catching your own sandwich! Come try your skills on this great gag grouper fishing. No need to do a all day. They are thick now on our half day fishing grounds.

The weather is perfect. Flat calm seas and the fish are eating. Normal its flat calm no fish or hold on to the rail and they eat everything. Thats not how fishing over the last few days was. We had a mix of anglers today. Some was the first trip ever. They all did a great job !!

As soon as the baits hit the bottom today the fish would just jump on it. At one point it looked to easy. This is not fishing. Its CATCHING !! A dozen grouper came up but just undersize. Lots and lots of white grunts (locally called grey snapper) came over the rail non stop. One nice flounder made the box. Few other odd ball fish came up also today. Over all over 200 fish came over the rail !! Flat calm seas today. The dolphin played off our bow on the way out and in today doing a great show to all !! Happy holidays ! Come join us this week.

The real fishing spot too far away- 1.5 hr in each direction. Only 2.5 hr real fishing time.
