Offshore Sarasota
Headed out today with snapper and grouper in mind, as Aaron from orlando wanted to have a day on the water and some fresh fillets. Left the inlet around 7am to a proven snapper spot of mine. Well we ended up with 30 Mangrove, 7 trigger fish, 10 porgy, 6 lane snapper, 3 Aj’s and one lucky Scamp grouper that went home with me
.After our limit of snapper was reached we picked up and headed over to a nice ledge that I found a few years ago that always produces to see what the red grouper were up to ……. well they were coming over the gunnel as fast as we could get our bait down. Ended up with 12 red grouper up to 15lbs and let go atleast 30 or more shorts. All in all a great day on the water, ended up with 65lbs of cleaned fillets, lots of gag grouper were caught and released today as well. Here are a few pictures from today.
Every thing but the grouper were caught on live shrimp, red grouper were caught on bonita strips and frozen sardines.
hope you enjoy

Nice work Capt Tim, looks like your biggest problem was needing more fish boxes!
Haha yeah, we had a 3 man limit in those two fish boxes. It took me 3 hours at the fillet table to get the job done!
