Headed out a little norht today to fish some areas that hopefully won’t be included in the MPA’s. Went just short of the ledge and fished one spot all day. Caught 50+ ARS’s, venting and releasing shorts, kept 5. The grouper bite was hot, and every one was caught on the only live bait rig fished w/ frozen cigar minnows. Fishing was non-stop, w/ b-liners, blacks, pinks, and a few grey triggers. A bit brisk and a choppy ride home but a great day with Auggie Dog, Fubar and newbie Steven.
Very Nice Day, congrad’s–Dive or Fish you don’t get a lot of days like that, makes up for some of the Bad Ones.
Great Job
Keep Fishing and Keep Punchin Holes.
Good Luck Everyone.
PS. Our Hole Punchers went out today to look at one of our local reefs/wrecks. Two weeks ago it was loaded with fish, today nothing, just some small BSB and Spades and Small Jelly fish. One of the guys got Stung in the Mouth but No Damage Done.
Same Wreck a couple of weeks ago had 1000 Flounder and many other species, now nothing.

Water Temp?? Pressure?? Front?? Time Of Year??
Water temp. It was 48 at the jetties, 60 where the fish were caught...
My numbers are so secret even the fish don’t know where they are…
Nice work Bug. I guess it is true that groupers and red snappers can be taken on rod and reel as well!
Also, per the short red snapper. My guess is that the ones that you release were just barely undersized (bunch of 18 and 19 inchers), correct? I guess it’s a shame that the SAFMC will close us down next year even though most of those fish you released will be LEGAL!!! Leave it to those guys to make the right decisions regarding our fishery.
Nice mess of fish bug catcher, hopefully I’ll be home wednesday, maybe we will get a chance to hurt some more. Again nice catch.
Hopefully my boat is done.
