*******Recon Mission for big gags********






Greetings,
Well things for January went pretty good, we paid the bills and caught a nice bunch of grouper and snapper for the month.
The past few 4 hour trips were very busy with fish catches totaling 70 plus fish for a few hours fishing and 4 persons.
Mel Crostowski and his merry Band of fish catchers put together a fine catch of 50 plus keeper snapper and 20 more throw back red and gag groupers to 21 inches. (22inches is a keeper gag grouper)
On my morning trip with Al and his wife Patricia we had a couple of fine gag groupers to go along with their 47 take home snappers.
All of their fish were filleted by myself. Boneless, bloodless and skinless. They are ready to cook when you take them home.

Yesterday ,my friend Steve Phillips and I went out in search of more grouper spots and what a day it was.
The most perfect day one could even imagine. 70 degrees, sunny ,light winds and a change of tide right smack in the middle of the morning. We proceeded to find 4 new ledges holding all sized groupers.
We limited out with 4 nice keepers to 28inches and threw back 5 others along with 25 more of there short friends. The best part for me is that these are new spots for me to take you to, which is the purpose for the trip. My bonus was that EVEN I caught a big gag for a change.
Thanks everyone for making my January a very enjoyable one!!!
