bring on the good weather and the hot bite!

So March seems to be giving us a pretty good amount of wind, but in between we find a few days of calm and try to get out. Tuesday looked to be the best window and we took advantage of it.  
Headed out for an offshore fishing trip with a group of four for a 3/4 day trip out of Bokeelia. We pushed off the dock at 630AM and made the run out to find some grouper and snapper. Our first stop was in 95 ft of water, which produced the first keeper grouper for the box at 24 inches. After a quick drift and only a dozen or so short red grouper, we moved on out a little deeper. Here, we spent the majority of the rest of our fishing time pulling up American Red Snapper and some nice Red grouper. The big girl went a little over 30 inches. The bite was nice and steady until we caught a juvenille Tiger Shark. After this, the bite turned off like a light switch. We moved back in a bit and got on to the some good size lanes and Vermillion snapper. A bunch more grouper we're caught but all shorts. We had a great day out with beautiful weather.
