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 After a really windy month, we jumped at the great conditions on Tues to find some Red Grouper. The crew consisted of myself, Mike B, Mark C and friend Joe. We left early from Nick’s Park and emptied our Pinfish traps and started our 2 hour ride to the Red Grouper bottom.Seas were less than a foot and the ride was very comfortable for a change. As soon as we got to the first spot we started catching small reds. We moved around to other spots close by and by the end of the day we had caught 5 nice Red Grouper to 26 1/2 in and some nice Mangrove Snappers to 21 in. We also caught a good mix of Lane and Vermillion Snappers. We were using a mix of live and dead bait.We quit by 2 and enjoyed the smooth ride home. Anot
