Our first cold front of the year and we had to put the fleece and jackets on for the ride out this morning. Chris and Gerald were on board with me and grouper once again, was on the menu. Well, the recent front in culmination with all the dirty water from the drainage rivers North of us; has made the gulf a coffee/chocolate mess. I've lived here my entire life and not sure if I've ever seen the gulf so dirty for so long and it will probably be so for a while too. The fish are still there and one has to change tactics a bit to make it happen. The guys today caught a few gags, a couple keepers and lost a few big dogs. The cooler waters will definitely fire up the grouper even more and the season is in full swing now, as long as the weather holds... Capt. Dan
