Finally got a nice day to go fishing when the wind wasn’t blowing 25 mph. We headed off shore to do a little bottom fishing. Couldn’t believe the water temps are around 25 miles they were in the high 60’s and at 32 miles it was 74 degrees. The 1st ledge was good and we had 5 keeper Reds around 10 to 14 lbs. I put out a light line for kings and didn’t even get it 20 feet behind the boat and it started going off. There were plenty of kings 8 to 10 lbs. The surprise of the day was when the light line went off and it started jumping. We caught a 12 lb Mahi in late December at 32 miles. Moved to several other spots with some action. At 40 miles the water was 78 degrees. Overall a great day especially for December 28th 10 grouper, 12 kings, 3 AJs and a Mahi and the normal grunts/sea bass etc. I also caught a 250 lb shark on cut bait. Sorry I forgot the camera so no pictures.
