Had a good day bottom fishing, started out padding the box w/ 50 BSB and Bliners. Pushed out to try to find a grouper. Caught more BSBs,Bliners, triggers, and pinkies. Picked up a cobia on the bottom as well. Couldn’t catch a grouper so we sent down the retrievers. They shot 2 scamps.
Came back in a little to a ledge. retrievers went back down.
We had 2 live baits on the bottom, but the the 2 diving swam right under the boat. Bubbles were actually coming up and hiiting the boat when one of the rods doubled. I figured we had snagged a diver but it turned out to be a keeper ARS, go figure. This time they brought up 3 hogfish, a red grouper and a 10# bug, pretty good dogs. Big hogfish was 26# at GLM. Body count was 87 all total.
