Default mid week grouper trip

Big hole in my schedule this week. Slooowwwww right now. I have a couple of buddies that have helped me a ton on my construction project that I owe big time. So I took them off shore for the day. Beats work'n.

Stared the day with a live well full of nice piltchers and headed off shore to some hard bottom about 10 miles and 40'. We dragged big plugs for 2 hours with a couple of false strikes only. So we then anchored up on some promising structure that only netted a sand perch and two lizard fish.

Time to run-and-gun.

Two spots and no luck later we tried a spot I haven't hit in a year or so in 48' about 14 off. It was on baby. Non stop gags and big snapper for an hour.

We had a great time, wish you could come along.

Shimber o Timber, them rods were bent and some. Great catch! Te snappers IMO are a better catch. WOW. Did you get them by the floating coco nut?

No, we struck out by the floating coconut. These were caught just West of the crap trap ball.
