Crystal River Grouper before the Front...

Written by 

We have a stiff NE breeze coming tomorrow according to the NOAA weather forecast and I was glad to troll up some gags today. I had Gilbert, Sherri and Paul on board for the day and grouper was on their menu. The seas' were rocking and rolling for the morning hours and we stayed close to shore and fished some shallow ledges in hopes of scrapping out some grouper. We caught some on bait, but they were all on the short side along with several sharks and the bite was quite slow from spot to spot. Finally, around 1pm I was able to a make a couple mile run to some good hard bottom and troll up some fine gag grouper. Rapala x-rap 20's in the blue mackerel color were the baits of the day and the grouper hit them hard. I had to cancel tomorrows charter with the weather being unfavorable, but I'll be back on the water soon.... Capt. Dan
