Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below The morning started with a journey to 65 feet. The Gulf was calm as a lake with little wind and partly sunny skies.

It was a decent day of fishing.  After getting shut out at our first stop, we traveled about a mile and the bite was on.

Stu Anderson, Mike Spanhel, Jack and I caught a mixed bag of fish.  13 Hogs with 2 keepers, 6 Porgies, dozens of Grunts, keeping only the largest, a small flounder and a decent fighting Amberjack.

We traveled back into 30 feet in search of Sheepshead with some success. 8 sheepshead were landed with 3 in the cooler.  To our surprise, we were also hooking Gag Grouper.  Fighting six of these with light tackle was fun.

A good time was had by all.

If this report includes a tournament entry please state the species and length of the fish caught in this box. Frank Dunne:  23.5″ Gag Grouper

Mike Spanhel:  14.5″ Hog Fish
