I have tried to post this report like 5X at the request of David T...Lets see if it finally works.
Went offshore Saturday to a spot just West of the now famous "Red Grouper" numbers. If you have been out with me offshore, you know this spot well. It generates lots of giant Red Grouper, gags, and occasionally some Dolphin, etc. etc. Something great usually happens there and this time was no exception. Derick from Phatfish and I once even saw a giant whale shark out there.
I went with another board member Fi$hinfoy, who does a lot of the inshore stuff. We made a stop at Dunedin reef and tried to caught some bluerunners and threadies just to have in the livewell and made our way out. Fi$hinfoy brought along some frozen threadies as well as some sardines so we packed up the chum churn and began chumming up the water as soon as we arrived. The keeper Red Grouper were in the box within 30 minutes. Then attentionthen turned to the pelagics. You can see how psyched Foy is in these pics with his first ever smoker King. I think he was the happiest I've ever seen him holding that big King. That wouldn't be his last. The big football bonita were in full force also and we skinned up the first one for chum and to lure in some more. In between bonita and kings, we were treated to some nice fat BlackfinTuna. I think we could have caught another 50 fish had we decided to stay. The bite was that hot.
