Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. Departed the dock shortly after 8am.  The weather report called for calm water, low winds, high temperature and humidity.  Went straight out to Pasco 4 and found no life below the water line.  Decided to head out WNW another 19 miles to deeper water.  Once we arrived there was nothing visible on the hard bottom.  Flat bottom with no fish marks or rock piles.  We decided to just drop down and drift anyway.  There was an immediate flurry of action with over 15 groupers (reds, gags and one rock hind).  All were shorts but we had a great time pulling them in.  My highlight was hooking into an ARS that run off at least 50 yards of 65# braid off my reel.  Great day fishing with Dave Diehl and Robbie Robinson.
