We had planned to fish some inshore structure but with the nasty green stuff and ripping current we decided to take the skiff a few miles out. It payed off! Using LYs in 50-90 feet we limited out on Mangos and none were small. We also threw in some Porgies and an Almaco.

great report! it seems that the "black snapper" are really thick on the wrecks this year.  weve caught a bunch of nice black snaps on public near shore(within 8 miles) wrecks this year!

Actualy since we had planned an inshore trip all we had was light spinning gear. I was using 10 lb power pro with 20 lb floro. The bite was on strong for a few hours before we got blown off the sweet spot.

Btw the pictures are of my son Andy and my buddy Mikey. This was Andy's first time out of the pass so it was his and my skiffs innaugural offshore trip.

He is turning into quite the little fisherman. Here he is on the cover of the "Fishermans weekly newsletter" where he was named the angler of the week in June.

Nice catch budy!!  I am a little confused on the name you have for them.  I thought those were "mangrove" snapper.  Can anyone confirm that?  We caught a few last monday and I was using the mangrove size chart (which was 10") to keep them.  If I am wrong, I sure am gla we didn't see the Grouper Troopers on the way in. LOL!!!
