Headed out in some choppy seas but found the Blackfin Tuna and Cobia. Then did some bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and the "ever elusive and Endangered Red Snapper". Thats a joke, we have more Red Snapper than ever before. You literally can't bottom fish without catching them on every drop! Got a STUD Triggerfish, weighed in at 8.5 lbs! The biggest Triggerfish I have ever seen live. Mixed bag of vermillion, grunts, and other miscellaneous bottom fish that we managed to get past the TONS of sharks out there.

Had a great half day of kingfishing, Cobia Fishing, and miscellaneous by-catch including a LOT of large SHARKS! Caught and landed 4 nice kingfish, 2 nice Cobia that were just too small to keep (sorry, don't have pix of those), lost several kings, and lost several to sharks. Hooked several sharks that we eventually broke off because they had to be over 500 lbs. Steady action all morning

Put in a full day and did some deep dropping: Got our limit of Golden Tilefish and had 4 throw backs because we were over the limit and couldn't keep them. Got our one Snowie Grouper we were allowed to keep and a nice yellowedge Grouper. A few Blueline Tilefish to add in there. Had a bonus 14 lb Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) swim up and offer to join us for dinner too!!!!!! Steady action all day Had one super hero hooked up, I'm sure it was a slob Yellowedge, but he shook his head and pulled the hook. The fish are biting out there. Come join me!

The wind has been cranking keeping the Lil' Wagon on her trailer but we did manage one Deep Drop Trip in January and got some really good Groceries, Yellowedge Grouper, Snowy Grouper (released as they are out of season), Golden Tilefish, and Blueline Tilefish (released as they are out of season).

Great Day on the water of deep dropping at the "Grocery Store"!!!!

The deep dropping was mighty fine this day. Got some Golden Tilefish and some Mahi mixed in.
