Headed offshore with my son David to try a little grouper fishing in the morning before the weatherman said the wind would start blowing hard from the NE in the afternoon. Started around 30 miles and immediately started catching nice Red grouper and a few Gags but they were shorts and released. The bite was great around 10:00 and as fast as we could get a bait on the bottom we were hooked up with the light weight jigging set ups. Unfortunately the weatherman was wrong again and the wind start blowing NE 15 to 25 at around 10:30. We headed in in 4 to 6 footers but it was worth the ride. The final count was 8 keeper Reds from 10 to 12 lbs and 5 short Scamps and 2 short Gags along with other assorted species. Sorry no time for pictures.
