Today's catch.. 12 keeper grouper, 15 hog snapper, 3 spanish mackeral.. and we kept two big Key west grunts.. We lost as least 4 or 5 20 plus pounders to the rocks... Great day, and they hit on half sardines.. Like always my favorite bait.. even over Live bait!!!!

What was the vis and how deep were you diving?

Yes, what's the vis and at what depth? Thanks for the report.

Capt. Jay

10-05-2002, 09:17 PM

We dove 40 foot out of bayport and the vis was 25 foot.. much better than I thought it would be with all the storms we had last 2 weeks.. Also spanish mackeral are EVERYWHERE.. we even caught 2 of them grouper digging on the bottom.. Go out tomorrow if you can.. and looks like there is lots of keepers in 40 foot or less.. Last year this same date I hit the same spot I hit today and limited out then.. so I would say the fish are starting to come closer to shore, if not already in.... Capt. Jay
