Ice on the dock

We started the week off with a full day leaving at 8am and when I got to the dock there was ice from one end to the other,not just a patch but the entire city dock.I fell asleep in naples and woke up in minnesota.After a slippery walk down the dock we made our way offshore.We made our day with a limit of mangrove snappers and a pair of keeper amberjacks.The bite was slow but with a little patience we made our day.The next day started slow but ended with a bang with the boat catching 9 keeper gags ,a red ,and 6 amberjacks to 50 pds.Not to be outdone the third day in a row the fish would not bite until late in the day but on the last drop we caught a limit of gags to 30" and a few mangrove snapper to give us a limit of snappers and gag groupers.Today was the first day of the gag grouper closure and as luck would have it we released 6 keeper gags with one being a 29"fish on 20 pd spin.The half day bite is a little slow right now so if you have the option the full day is a better choice.
