We left at 7:15 New Years Eve. Went a bit further south than east this time. Was slick until about 10 miles out then became 2-3 chopin areas. Looked around for a bunch of my old loran spots. Found all the rocks - all but one wreck are gonzo after the hurricanes a couple of years ago. Grouper bite was not as hot south as it was east on Christmas Eve. Ended the day with a couple of small reds, a bunch or released fish (gags), a few scamps, and a handful of very nice triggers (and as usual all the snappers you could handle - why exactly is this season closed? They are EVERYWHERE). Bite was weird - put a live rockfish down and you had a bite in 10-15 seconds. Put a live mingo or white snapper and you had to wait a while...
Unfortunately, nothing worth taking pictures of this time.
Happy New Years to All!
