| We just had to get out fishing today friday the 14th. We had big plans to go to the rigs saturday but that was shot down by the weatherman. Tim and I left out of shermans cove around 06:15. First stop was the jetties to try and catch a few bait fish. About two dozen pigfish and another 16 large pinfish and off we go. The roughest part or the trip out and back was between the 11 and 12 bouys with the out going tide. Sea condition was about 1 foot and maybe a 2 footer now and then. Our plans was to look for some new spots to the west of were we normally fish. About 26 miles out we started to look at the bottom for some live bottom. With the sea conditions so calm we were able to mark 6 new areas of live bottom that we did not have. But the only thing we could catch on them today was snapper snapper and more snapper. As you can see by some of the pictures these are some fine size fish. Tim was able to catch 4 red short grouper. And it seemed that all I could catch there was AJs and almacos. We tried for a blackfin but then again all we could hook was kings. Look at the sea condition in the back ground in one of the pictures. I say we shoot the weatherman. That does not look like 2-4s and 20 knot wind. Oh well maybe next week I will see you all out there.We made it a short day back at the dock by 1. Gene 
That was one big almaco

Chris the water was cobalt blue, lots of live sargassum ,no flyers and the water temp started at 72 and i think 74 was the highest at around 12:00.
