This report is for Sunday October 8th! Finally, our first cold front made it down to SWFL!. Woke op to upper 60's and saw upper 70's for our high today.. These fronts can really get the fish fired up. Todays trip was a "6hr Big Game". With our goal being to catch some Goliath Grouper, we started our day by catching some bait. Ill let the pictures tell the rest of the story. ??
