Out on Stranglehold IV
Went SW out of JP 8-24-19 on Jays new Pursuit 28. He's in the process of naming his boat. So, for now. I'm calling it Stranglehold IV. Depths: 50', 60', 70', 80' and 90'. Best vis: 60'-70'. A solid horz. 35'. Best gags and hogs: 80'. Bottom temp.: 84F.. in all depths. Seas starting picking up in mid afternoon. So, we called it a day and headed in. Saw plenty of short gags and some red groupers on a few spots. Dove one ledge loaded with small glass minnows. Thought it would be gag and mango heaven. Wrong . I did get 2 nice size hogs.

Re: Out on Stranglehold IV
Seems to be no shortage of bait. But bait not equating to where the big fish are. They seem to be deeper where it is cooler. We moved between 45' and 75' N of Anclote yesterday. 2 nice gags. 3 legal hogs. 21 mangos. Went out in the sand off of a ledge and there were dozens of short gags laying out there.

we just did 480 miles round trip and didn't get much. the future of fishing is looking bleak under the current management plans.

Below is a pic from a sporty trip the Friday before last when we had to do an ice shuffle at 11:00 AM. 6 people on the boat with newbies on the boat getting 2 personal best. I don’t know where you ran to but I’ve been all over the last few weeks and have seen more fish than I am willing to cock the gun on.
