Gene, I was out today and the wind was dead calm but there was about a four or five foot swell from the South. I can imagine it will be really bad tomorrow when the wind reaches here with those swells grow and start breaking with the wind. Just wanted to let you know. Have a safe trip!!

Awesome report guys. That is some haul of Groupers.:hungry I sure wish I could get a good weather window on the weekend. If we don't get one soon I am going to have to take some time off during the week to get out.

Ocean Man you fish alot of the same areas we fish i when i say they are there, they are there i lost quite a few bigger fish to the rocks and hooks pulling . If we could only get a break in the weather I hear a fish slaying coming on. TIM

Looks like a good haul, so you say it was about 180 feet, did you guys fish wrecks or just rock bottom? I am pretty sure you guys were on wrecks due to the groupers, but just in case, can you let me know if you caught any groupers over rock bottom? Thanks!



Oh, and what a haul :clap, you guys have gave me all the more reason to get off my as@ and get to fishin soon.



Thanks for the pics, report, and advice if you can give it.

Rodfather i hate to say it but i think you are very misinformed about grouper.Wrecks are not the place to catch a good quanity ofgrouper . Yes you can have a great day fishing a wreck for all the diffrent species but if there were an abundant supply of grouper on wrecks the divers in this area would be killing alot more than they do . And we have some great divers on here . Maybe we can getsome of there opinion. But in my opinion good hauls of grouper come from live bottom areas , or hard bottom areas. Thanks for your comments as always . TIM

gotta agree with recess on that one. i can fish a wreck and end up with more triggers and "endagered" red snapper, plus a few AJ's in the mix because they like vertical structure. i can also fish live bottom all day and see nothing but red and gag grouper, with the occasional AJ or snapper if i'm close to a spring.
