Fishing Report 5-5-2012
I had Jimmy and his son Kevin down from NY for a day of fishing. The weather did not allow us to go to the stream so we stayed inshore bottom fishing. Started at 20 miles with no action moved out and got into a OK grouper bite. Kevin caught his 1st gag grouper 12 lbs. Then we had a Cobia come by the boat but not interested in a bait. The bite slowed so we moved offshore 10 miles and anchored on a ledge. Kevin had the 1st bait down and immediately hooked up to a nice 15 lb Gag. Jimmy then hooked up a landed/released a 12 lb American Red Snapper. We spent the next few hours catching kings, Pinkys, Grunts,Grouper and many many Sea Bass (for the season to be closed due to the lack of the species there seems to be plenty of Sea Bass around). Jimmy also landed a 7 foot shark on light tackle. Caught a couple scamps on jigs.
