| 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 | Sunday 6/23 Captain Joe Stand invited the duo Bob & Shelli Sauban along with Terry Reelitz for a quiet day on the water according to Mr. NOAA.Well at about 6:30 AM when we hit the channel, we found out differently, it was a little rocky to say the least. Nonetheless we headed West with plans to limit out on RG’s and ARS.Loaded up with the typical frozen stuff – Squid, Ladyfish & Threadfins, we made one stop to pick up some Squirrels and Grunts. Loaded up the live well and headed to +100’ of blue water. Difficult to stay on plane so it took longer than normal but we finally arrived on the spot.Lots of short RG’s, I know that is a surprise. Squid and threads produced the most bites, Ladyfish heads and Grunts produced the biggest fish, but the slowest bite – it’s a trade -off.We had three RG’s in the well, the gang got antsy for ARS action, so we headed deeper. ARS bite was very active, with a couple exceptions the ARS were normal size with a couple big un’s in the mix, but a limit. Again, Threads produced the most bites, Ladyfish heads, Grunts and Squirrels although slower bites typically bagged the bigger fish.Headed in a little earlier than would of afforded another stop to finish out the RG limit, but a satisfying day all around with plenty of action and very little slow periods. The choice of baits kept the fish active.Shelli ‘Hot Rod’ Sauban had BIG FISH HONORS for both RG’s and ARS’s. Shelli took home RG Award ‘Sweet Cheeks Winner’ with a 26” Grouper ‘Kickin’ ARS and takin’ names’ with a 26” American Red Snapper – both came off of LadyFish head and Squirrel.Luckily, ride home was smother, although a little wet but ‘A great time was had by all’Thank you, Captain Joe, for a great trip |
