It felt so good to finally make a run offshore to the sheephead grounds and hooked in to some big ones. The weather has been so hit and miss lately and today was our window of opprotunity. Chuck and Edna were my guests out of Pete's Pier Marina and while the winds were quite strong during the morning - by noon, it was smooth sailing. The gulf is still cold and hovering around the 58 degree mark. When the conditions are like this, sheepshead are a best bet. The big sheepshead today were on the ledges and using a simple knocker rig with a live shrimp was our method for success. A pleasant bonus for Chuck with the hot rod, were three keeper sized grouper. We caught and released them on 10lb test line, which gave Chuck a great fight and a run for his money. He played them out beautifully, took some pictures and sent them home. The afternoon was gorgeous and I thank you both for a great day... Capt. Dan
