State the length and species in the box below It was one of those days on the water that you just couldn’t ask for more.  Capt Mike Kaplan invited Mike Spanhel, Bob Sherley and me out for a day of offshore fishing targeting Red Grouper.  Were in the water and leaving the Nick’s Park at quarter to 7am. It took up about 2 hours to reach our first drop at 100ft.  Mike hooked up with the biggest red grouper of the day on his first or second drop. We spend about 2 hours at this spot and boated 3 more grouper and a few Lane snapper and grunts.  We moved a coupe of times to other nearby spots and picked up 4 more keeper red grouper.  The bite was on herring and fish heads.  We had hit our limit a little before 2pm so we headed in.  The seas were calm and the temperature just right.  Thanks Capt Mike for a heck of a day of fishing.
