Grouper and Mahi
On Saturday I took a fun trip with Susanna Ward, Harriet Ward, and Capt. Allen Williams. The weather was so beautiful it was hard to spend my Saturday on shore, so we went after some grouper. Bait was fairly easy to catch, as it only took one throw of the 10′ cast net to load with boat with more than enough Pogies for a full day of bottom fishing. Once we had cleaned up from sliming the boat, I headed the Twister 40 Miles to the south toward some good bottom that I felt should be holding good fish this time of year. The bite was never really on fire, but we did manage to catch several fish at each spot. We kept moving all day and ended up with a nice variety of Bottom fish and Mahi Mahi. This was Susanna and Harriet’s first time fishing on the Twister, but they learned quick and added some nice fish to the cooler. A full day trip would be sufficient to get out to the areas that are holding fish like this, if you would to join in on the fun give me a shout. Tight Lines!!
