APril Studs day =)

Had a group of 5 on board looking to catch some fish. We left Punta Rassa boat ramp and headed on out. Fished NW of Sanibel Island working our way out deep. Picked up some blue runners, spanish sardines, pinfish and a few other baits for the run out.  We found an area being with the surface getting worked hard in about 45 feet.  Saw a king skyrocket... Dropped in a couple runners and bump trolled.  Both get vicious hits, one with a 200 yd run that came unglued running back to the boat. other spit the bait... Continued out. Added some lanes and vermllion to the box in about 85 ft before pushing out to deeper water.  Our first grouper in the boat went just under 33 inches. Next 2 up were respectable 25 inch fish. Caught a few nice triggerfish to bring home as well. Bite slowed so pushed on out to a wreck.  We played with some ajs and cudas for a while, with several making their way to the boat. Had a big cobia on that unfortunately came unglued after a few minutes. 
Was a fun and action packed day. Everyone had a good time with bent rods.
