| Did some deep bottom fishing today. Caught some live pinfish and menhaden and headed south. Got a few nice grouper(15-25#) and some decent scamp and huge mingos. Also caught a few big snapper which were properly released after I cleaned a few leaders and hooks out of their mouths. Pretty slow overall and worked for what we got. What a beautiful day out there!! Here's some photos.

| Looks like you did good, nice grouper . I also had a fantastic day out on the blue pond. It was hot for a while. Caught 5 33" to 35" aj's and 4 almacos and a beeliner and lost a 45+ cobia right at the boat because I wasn't ready with the gaff. Stayed bowed up all day with jigs, all 5 of us.

| Lobsterman......kind and color of grubs? Hubster and I left Sander's beach about 530 am.....went to many numbers offshore and ended up about 10-12 miles south of the pass. We tried trolling, bottom fishing, sardines, jigs and various other things. We had like 3 bites all day long!! I know we've got a new boat but, jeezzzz....this isn't our 1st time out!! :(:(:( The depth finder was showing fish but I SWEAR they had no mouths!!! LMAO!! Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!!

beatiful fish!

| Just wondering about the menhaden. Did you fish them live on the bottom or just butterflied? I don't usually try to keep them in the well so I have never dropped a live one to the bottom. Those are some quality gags. If you can put people on fish like that I would forget trolling charters except for dragging high speed lures between bottom spots.
