Where the big boys play

Harbison · 05-21-2012, 05:51 AM

Check out this great catch from deep within the Florida Middle Grounds, Florida Fisherman, Hubbard's Marina.
(Tried to post a detailed description. Per this forum guidelines, I cut it down to nothing...still said too big???)
You should be able to get a pretty good idea as to how good the trip was from the pictures & video. Sorry, I tried. Bob H.

One P.M. the Friendly Fisherman returns from a 1/2 day trip. Big strings of delicious tasting grunts looks really interesting:

Check out the video. The Friendly Fisherman returns from a 1/2 day trip.
We move the early morning catch around to make sure all fish are kept in the best possible condition. We want fresh, cold, fish.
Check out all the battles.
The 'deep where the big boys play' fish are distributed.
The Florida Fisherman, just in from 200 + feet of water, fishes for grunts within the sight of land:

Looks like that was a very nice trip. That is the way it should be.

Snatch it: Thank you sir! It was indeed an 'amazing' experience.
Oysterman: Nice to have you aboard, if even by accident.

I don't get it! Neither does anyone else.

"Fine job, sir.

Thank you sir. The Florida Middle Grounds continues to produce. Sir, differently from your area, the Grounds are 100 miles from Madeira Beach, Florida. We seldom see another boat the entire weekend. And, best of all, the long liners are banned from the Middle Grounds. We are looking forwards to a very good ARS season. We, on the Florida Fisherman, go for 39 hours, as such, we can legally keep a two day limit.
Hopefully, you too will do well. Bob H.
