ran 45 miles out of MHC inlet yesterday and finally got the lines in. Had high hopes but never got a sniff all day. Man, it's always "fishin was good last week". Had marked some good bottom right on the edge earlier and made a mental note. We decided to change gears and try fishing the bottom. Almost right away we got into the fish. Good sized Red Grouper. What a blast reeling them up out of 250' of water it was. Good fighters and even better on the grill

Brought home 9 and lost a few in the rocks and one to a shark. Turned out a great day w beautiful weather. Swells sure did build as the day went on. Storm is coming!
