Had a Good day on the water with David, Mike, and Ryan on Tuesday. The Tally, 5 Trigger, 1 AJ, 1 Grouper,5 Mingo, 6 Snapper and a Cobia that bottomed out my 50lb. Scale!
Yes, he followed 2 Snapper we were reeling up. So we threw on some live Rubys and Squirrel fish and put them out and he ate a Squirrel fish on the bottom and that biggest Snapper was between 11and12.
Pinksnappercatcher. Yes, we were about a mile and a halfnorthfrom the Coast Guard Cruiser "Bonito". They were monitoring the 9 mile line. Towards the end of the day they launched a craft out the back and boarded us and checked all our safety gear ect.I did not have my boat registration on me and I was issued a warning. I did not knowI needed it on me since I have a Valid Registration Sticker on the boat.I guessI know now. I had everything else they requested, they were actually very polite and professional. They said they were very surprised at the lack of boats that were out there fishing on opening day, and yesI will remember, that made up for all those "Throw everything back and cry days".
