We had a great crew on the boat today, with 7 Fisherman we hoped for 14 Snapper and some Groupuers. Well, we got 1/2 way there with 7 nice snapper, a small king, 1 kept Sea Bass (we caught a couple dozen), and lots of undersized Grouper and undersized Snapper. The fishing started fast and furious, but as soon as the tide started ripping the bite stopped. 10oz wouldn't even hold the bottom. We had a special honor having 'Cut Bait Eddie' on the boat. He caught more sharks than I have ever seen, on his beloved cut bait.
We headed in around 3, just in time for the storms to blow up. We were able to dodge the rain and lightning, but had to ride home in solid 4' foot head sea.
