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 Capt Bob headed northwest at 6am with a steady wind and threats of numerous offshore showers.  We did not see any other brave souls in our path during the ride out.  Seas were rolling 2-3’s but increased as we approached the 65 foot depths.  Tried several times to anchor over one of Capt Bob’s hot spots but that proved more difficult that normal as the waves rocked and rolled us around.  In short order the bite was on.  Several short grouper (Gag and Red) were boated and released and then the cooler started filling up with keepers.  Once the feeding ended, we relocated a short distance away however we had to buckle down as a storm was quickly approaching.  The squall was a good 30 knots which pulled the boat anchor a good distance.  In no time, the skies cleared and the boat was back on the spot with tight lines all over the boat.  Lori fondly named many large fish as they broke her line half way to the boat (names I cannot repeat here).  Overall, we kept 12 grouper (8 gag & 4 red), 1 mangrove snapper and a few grunts.  The only bait used were threadfins.  One of the best days in a long-time catching lots of grouper.
