I'm going to have to make this fairly short. We made it off the dock this morning and headed out off shore for our AJ's. We were able to get our limit of AJ's pretty quick and then headed in shore to try and get some flounder. We did not see many grouper off shore in deeper water (125-180).

We managed to pull plenty of flounder and four nice size grouper. A few big eyes and almaco in the mix as well. Seas were 4-6 for most of the morning off shore, but settled down like bathwater by the afternoon ride in.

Every nice grouper that we shot was in less than 90 ft of water and well inshore. Didnt see any grouper in open water, they were all deep in the wrecks in holes (maybe just the time?).

I'll just post the pics and let the other guys fill in the blanks. Turned out to be a pretty good day of diving.



3:30 AM is still a little early for Jeff (Sniper Spear-it)



Alex trying to get some sleep before the water got rough.



This is Chris (Tightsnatch) before he got got sick. I think he slept most of the day.















Just got this vaccuum sealer. Like it a lot better than the old way I used to store fish. Seems to keep it fresher to (so far).

I see you went back for a taste test of your own Jeff. How was the vis out there? Hopefully, it was better than our trip last week.
