Nothin' but Big Ones

Whew ! I have been running hard, 2 trips a day- today was the 1st day in over 2 weeks I had to cancel a trip due too weather. This morning we had a great catch but it was bouncy coming in and by 1PM I sure didn't want to be back offshore! TS Debbie moved a pile of Groupers up into our area without chasing the Red Snapper away. The past 2 weeks of fishing have been nothing short of incredible. Limit catches of (BIG)Red Snapper, lots of Grouper bites (Red & Black)plenty of Kings around AND we had a good show of Cobia last week as well ! Most of the cobia were short, quite a few by just 1/2 an inch but there were some fine ones mixed in as well. Check out a few of my anglers catches.... {%image_id=27905%} Fine Snappers and Lots of Groupers too! {%image_id=27906%} Yep, That's 3 Cobia mixed in with all those big bottom dwellers ! {%image_id=27907%} More Big Snapper, Groupers and ... a cobia ! {%image_id=27908%} We even had time to fish for a few Kings after limiting out on Snappers and getting a few Grouper... on a 4 hr.. {%image_id=27909%} Another fantastic mixed 4 hr catch. The cobia swam up to the boat while we were fighting a King {%image_id=27910%} Snappers and Kings- The best of both worlds. {%image_id=27911%} Double Red ! Red Snappers and Red Groupers! {%image_id=27912%} For all you guys who say "I can't turn the handle" when that big one bites.-- She got both of these off the bottom by herself ! Only 2 more days left in Red Snapper season, and there are soooo many big ones still out there.... Luckily there are still lots of Kings and Groupers out there too ! I have a few days of fishing off Grayton next week and then I am off to Indian Pas to chase those giant Silver Fish for 3 weeks. Get out and go while it's "easy' ! Capt Larry Pentel Deadfish
