Sunday 4/20 grouper, scamp, triggerfish and chickens

Rockbottom · 04-21-2008, 09:37 PM

We left O.B. early am and headed toward the yellow gravel area. We started out catching some triggers and scamp and not to long after my brother got a nice gag. We didn't weigh him but we were guessing between 18 and 22 lbs. We decided to go check out a few other spots and came across a floating pallet and from a few hundred yards away you could see the chicken dolphin jumping out of the water. The four of us caught a total of 20 or so in about 30 minutes.We then went to a few other spots with not a whole lot to show for it, and headed back in.

The first trigger of the day.

Nice grouper caught by my brother.

The biggest trigger being held by my youngest boy.

The chicken dolphin that we left biting, there were literally hundreds of them.

The money shot.

Real nice trigger and grouper man. Good to hear the mini-dolphin are on there way in. Won't be long before the big boys are here.
