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 Mike Spanhel invited Frank Bellizio, Stu Johnson and John Grieder for a hogfish trip.  We left the dock at 8:15 and went out to around 38 feet.

Fishing stations worked out to be – Stu and John starboard side; Mike and Frank port side.

Outcome:  Starboard side — grunts.  Port side – red grouper, triggerfish, mangrove snapper and hogfish.  That’s the way it works sometimes.  Frank and Mike eventually released the floodgates and Stu and John finally started catching some hogfish.   And there were plenty to go around.  By the end of the tour we all caught our fair share.

Back at the dock Frank worked his magic with his electric knife and had them filleted in no time.  And a great time was had by all – thanks, Mike!

And now it’s time for some baconator fish tacos:  They are, after all, hogfish, right?
