  We saw a weather window to try and catch a few grouper. Our crew today was Steven, Tim, Darren and myself. At 05:30 this morning the boat was covered with ICE. But that was not going to stop us from wetting a few lines. Our first stop was to try and make some live bait. Thirty minutes later we had what we thought was enough, about 45 pinfish.  We ran in less then 1 foot seas outside the pass. But it was cold, every one on board had 5 layers of clothes on. About 45 minutes into the run and we were there. The first stop brought a few of the scamp aboard. But last week Tim and I went on a scouting trip to try and find some new cheeze holes. Well a little seaching paid off this time. Darren and Tim went down time and time again to try and bring the grouper off the bottom. It was kind of like a see saw day all day long. Steven was busy filling the box with mingos and scamp. Tim was the grouper master today with Darren in second place. Man I sure wish we had more live bait. The grouper weighed 30 pounds. Looking forward for the next weather window. Gene

Did I mention that the endangered 10 to 20 pound red snapper bothered us all day long!

That is a nice haul. Were you on large relief or small bottom?

Nice, real nice. Hey Gene - good thing you didn't break another rod on Escambia County I know what that's like. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
