Special Lady- Went straight out this morning and put out lines in about 238 feet. Worked in and out amongst scattered annoying grass to the north. Went 2 for 3 on sailfish and saw a forth as we were releasing one. Caugh a nice sized wahoo and 3 baracudas. Tried some deep dropping and ended up with 6 snowies and 3 silver snapper. One of the snowies weighed just a touch over 30lbs. That should be close to the state record. Going to get it checked out Ft Johnson tomorrow.

How deep you you have to fish to get snowies?
Nice work on the sails and on the snowies. You better fish that place good before they make it a fish park.

I think he is referring to a snowy grouper.

Skinneee- Thanks
IsF4L- I dont know what a snowy snapper is either, but where does it
say snowie snapper?
To all- I wasnt sure about the requirements for a SC state record but I have had to withdraw my grouper as he was caught on an electric reel. He did make the weight at 30lbs 6 ozs. Also since I just looked and for those of you who dont know either, a fish less then 50lbs. must beat an existing record by 4 ozs, between 50 and 100- 8 ozs, and 100+ must beat it by 16 ozs. One person can touch rod and must be caught in a sportsman like manner.
That’s a reel nice fish,Ben.Fugget the record!Congratz*

Ben, I’ve been out of town, but nice job there. You seem to be multi-talented on top water and bottom fishing…Makes good for the grill. Also, nice fish on that large one even if on the elect reel.

30# grouper from 430’ without a motor on the spool would suck badly… even if he is floating by the time he hits 200’.
Very nice fish.
