Well, the weatherman kept us from attempting the middle grounds this weekend.Prediction was 3-5 or 4-7 . Checked many sites and got mixed results, but all offerd 2-3 at the smallest. well this is what we had to deal with! Bot the weatherman sucks!!!
Well we hit seminole boat ramp at 5am, loaded up and hit the water bout 530.
Started in 70 ft 25 miles east north east.
Small red grouper.I then start to realize the guys im fishing with .... um..... are complete morons.
Did i mention i didnt take my boat... Wish like hell i did.
Anyway . were in a 28 ft cobia center console with a 264 wellcraft coastal. joining us.
These guys all dive. I was the only fisherman.
well i learned alot of things.. Spearfishers shoot first measure later!.. And kill everything bring it up identify it.. if its legal its kept . If its not its tossed overboard or eaten on the boat.
2nd they only know how to get to numbers but cant read a bottom machine. they anchor on the numbers and swim to wherever the reef is.
So being a fisherman All i musterd up was a nice kingfish.. a few small red grouper. They were feeding heavily and swallowing 8/0 circles so i quit fishing bottom. I managed a few big ramoras on the flat line and a huge i dunno what fish.. stripped 100yds on first run off my Tyrnos.. Got 50 back dogged out another 50 .. 5 mins later im getting line back and pop 80 mono breaks.
Anyway the guys nailed 20 hogfish, 5 were kepers. 4 red grouper 0 were keepers. 1 gag Not a keeper.
1 sheepshead.. which was legal, and 6 triggerfish 3 kepers.
Ill say this i have no respect for divers!
When the guys werent diving they were catching baby red groupers and doing this with them
Yep.. Phukin disgrace.
ANYway..
Here are some pics of catch
Ill fish from my own boat Now on.
When i said morons.. these guys had georgous boats nice electronics.. but no clue.. you know how they found the wrecks and stuff.. thy put the coordinates in and watch the curser when its on the numbers icon they drop anchor.. never looking at the bottom machine. I kept trying to give advice.. nope that bottom reader dosent work.. gotta use the numbers to get right on the spot... i was over it after the 3rd hr when we finally started fishing.
Man theres dumbasses everywhere
