The weather forecast was a bit off today and the seas were definitely not 2ft or less. However, Brad and Aaron joined me for the day and we targeted some shallow water grouper on some near shore locations. The south winds have pushed the floating grass back to the North off Crystal River which made trolling just about impossible. We did catch one fish right away on a clean drag, but the rest of our charter we bottom fished. A a team we turned a couple keepers, several short gags and released five cobia. Cut thread fin herring were the baits of the day and thank you guys for your patience and "sea legs". Here's Brad and Aaron with some fine Crystal River grouper... Capt. Dan
