Left with PurposeOne, Edisto-fisher and one of his buddies around 6:30. Did not fool with livies no matter how many pelicans crashing around the Fort.
Got on the spot after a 40kt ride out on a slick ocean. Tried the jigs as we ascertained current direction and fish show. No bites on the jigs but outstanding show on the Lowrance.
Dropped cut bate down and put 2 or 3 scampers in the bote and got gagged hard, busting one of my snapper rigs at the knot. I had many of these bigger grouper up off the bottom but my 80# mono leaders popped. This was with 30# or so of drag to stop these fish though so it is to be expected. I was horsing a little too much with that low gear my Avets have.
Anyhow… we anchored and caught 2 more scampers and a trumpet fish. Then I continued to bust my 80# snapper leaders 2 or 3 times before getting one nice 20-25# gag to the bote and got the aggregate grouper count up to 15. Also put a nice mangrove and a couple bucket liners in the bote. Turned loose about 4 short yellowmouths.
Then, the current changed, and we drove around and found an even better show on the bottom. Motor fished it to finish the grouper limit and also get 2 more nice mangrove snappers.
Edisto-fisher bout had a heat stroke but continued to fish. Them hillbilly boys aren’t used to the humidity I reckon.
We caught many grouper and lost many grouper. I used a “snapper rig” all day long tho so I do not feel so bad.
Good flash in the pan for me before I start school back and am restricted to internet fishing.

not sure why you still support them,they obviously don’t like the east coast…
“I have come to fish”
This is true. I was told on the phone by an employee and one of the owners that you would be getting a call about the great great great grandmother of the fish above…

Hey Phin, you failed to mention day one. Thought these folks might enjoy these pics too. My freezer now officially has twice as much grouper as you have. Thanks again P1,you da man.
