    First offshore trip of 09........

    Went out in 2 boats searching for Groupers in about a 30 mile range in 100 feet of water, had a a few shorts Scamps, 1 keeper Scamp, several Grunts, a few Pinky's, 1 juvenile King & lot's of Sharks.......

    Sea conditions were calm & flat, so we ran another 20 miles out to the edge of the Stream , 200 feet of water & it was on...........unfortunatley they were AJ's ---- BIG AJ'S

    We were having a BAD day - had a Wahoo bite through 500# kelvar assist hooks, had him on for about 15 seconds, several Groupers came unhooked on the way up, massive tangles when a hungry AJ took 2 baits.........

    Our buddy did manage to land 2 Africian Pompanos & we finally landed one stud Red Grouper & a JoltHead Porgey.

    On our return to the ramp, spoke to a few other fisherman that also went out & did not do much better - except for a few big Flounders - nobody limited out on Groupers........

    Seth's AJ's before he collapsed from exhaustion.......ICM

    I too was hoping they make it to our boat..........
    We tried talking them out of them, because they did not know what they were.......until we showed a over - excited interest.........

    What really hurts is they ran out of bait & we gave them our backup Sardines........ICM
