11-21 grouper diggin

Captain Jake Adams · 11-21-2008, 08:56 AM

We loaded up on Sam Cammariotes' boat "Game On" and headed out SW on a fun trip to search for some grouper. The seas were a little bigger than the 1-2 forecasted but not bad. We fished most of the day in 200'-260' and ended up with 4 gags (biggest about 25 lbs), 1 real nice red grouper, 18 scamp (pretty good grade) and 5 jacks. The bite was real good in the morning and tapered off around 1:30 or so in the afternoon. We caught the fish ona mixture of live and dead baits.I talked to Pat Caro back at the marina and he said they had a real good trip as well, with lots of triggers anda limit ofjacks. The fishing is great this time of year when the weatherpermits. I'll try and get a few pics before we start cleaning them here shortly.
