Deep Water Gag and Scamps

Great day bending rods! We got a 6 man limit of red snapper, some great porgies, some jumbo red grouper, stud mangrove snapper, a pair of throwback gag grouper, payed the tax man (sharks!), caught a tiger shark, and had a handful of big bottom dwellers that didnt want to coke to tye surface for a visit. Great trip had by all!

Our morning started off a little foggy ( quite literally with some patchy sea fog) but that didnt stop us from getting out and putting the smackdown on some fish! We caught a what would have been a limit of nice red groupers, a limit of american red snappers, some porgies, lanes, triggerfish, mangroves, sharks and a nice giant goliath grouper! This crew was eating good and had some sore arms! Although it was a day early, there was plenty to celebrate with fishing fireworks galore!

Our crew was looking for enough meat to feed a group of 10, so that was our main focus... The bite was great! We pulled up a great mix of different species. We had lane snapper, vermillion snapper, yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, red grouper, gag grouper, scamp grouper, porgy, African Pompano grunts and more! We also successfully landed 3 sharks, 2 of which were over 8 ft long! We had two African Pompano that were just short of being legal, but what a fun fight and cool looking fish! We also had plenty of big predators that got the best of us, but it was a blast feeling their size and strength! After we got back to the dock, Capt Dan filleted all the snappers and it gave 3 gallon ziplock bags loaded and busting at the seals! They should have an epic meal for 10!
