We went out 9am this morning. It was sloppy, choppy, and cold. We tried the Phoenix, Janet, & Eglin Landing Craft with frozen cigar minnows, sabikis, and jigs but got NOTHING. We had bites, but no takers. Another boat joined us at the Landing Craft early in the afternoon, but they weren't getting anything either & left. The seas went flat around noon and it was a smoooooth ride in this evening. I wish I could go out again tomorrow but we have too much other stuff to do..

Look at your water temps. When it hits high 50's they get sluggish!

The water temp today was 58 out there at both places. It was 62 last week and we had a steady bite of Snapper, but not many of size worth talking about. So the high-50s temp makes the fish sluggish? Where would be a better place to go? We are Kingfishers, so this grouper, AJ bottom fishing is sort of a learning experience to us.. we are trying hard though.. :-). Keep the advice coming, PLEASE :-D I'd like a much fatter grouper one of these days! :-D

YEA We all would like a big fatty. Keep fishing, bigger baits deeper water....I've been offsho fishing for close to 10 years and the biggest one i have caught was 25lbs. I caught 2 that day and they both were 25lbs... If you have the money you need to call one of the reef guys and have him dump you a nice sized reef in a 100' of water and by this time next year there will be fish on it. They will get big real big because you will be the only one with that spot, dont give the #s to anyone. Also you can join RFRA, its down by joe pattys in pensacola and its 35 bucks and you can make all the reefs you want to and take them out your self and dump them and mark the spot on your gps and keep going to that spot and dumping till you have a good structure and it will hold big fish......I just joined and im going to be spending alot of time up there making a bunch of reefs i can dump....They have all the metal, tools, and gear. And they just bought a bardge and if your a member you can make your reefs and when they go out and dump you put your reefs on there and throw in gas money and go dump with them....They will keep your numbers private......

That sounds awesome to be able to make and deploy your own reefs! We just joined the Emerald Coast Reef Association Saturday. :-)

| We went out of pensacola yesterday.Caught plenty of just undersized amberjacks and a lot of red snapper up to fifteen pounds. Once again no grouper though. Just can't seem to find any of them. We fished the public wrecks and natural bottom. Save your money on having reefs put out. The charter guys with their radar zappers will clean them off for you. They can sit up in their wheelhouse and watch the radar and get all of these spots. I know people who have had spots that suddenly quit producing. The bite was off a little yesterday. We usually don't have any trouble finding legal jacks. The red snapper chummed up big time when it got pretty in the afternoon. We were hoping the black snapper would come up but nothing but the red variety crashed the party.
