9/30 Grouper/AJ's/Flounder/REDS!
Sat. 9/30/06 What a morning.... I had Mike, Tony, and Ryan onboard with me for most of the morning before my afternoon trip... Whoa! We intended on catching a few grouper off some of our flounder ledges... but one electric mate quit and we broke off a dozen rigs on 35-40lb AJS with the drags tightened down for Grouper.... so, after about 10 big Amberjack and just a couple of Grouper with the largest at 12lbs
we switched over to flounder fishing and boated about 27 with 18 keepers from 1.5 to 3.5lbs and then moved on along the shoals to find about 500 to 1000 reds working hard... We spent about 1/2hr on them and caught 15 from 25 to 32in. and kept our 4 at 26.5 to 27in. We had them jumping out of the water, fighting over the topwater baits... even got some video! Awsome morning on the water and back out in the early afternoon for some more reds! Capt.
