I wasn't sure how the weather was going to be today with the forecast calling for breezy conditions, but it turned out to be a good one. I had Michel, Earl and Dan on board this morning and I picked up the crew from the Plantation Inn. We made a quick stop down the river and immediately hooked in to a couple snook. Michel had the hod rod and she went two for six with the ones landed being in the mid 20" class. With the steam slowly starting to rise from the cooling towers at the power plant, I said lets go offshore and give the grouper a try. Well, to be truthful we had to work hard for them today. I must have tried over fifteen locations and all I had to show for it was a hand full of shorts. Looking at my watch it was almost 2:30pm and nothing in the cooler. I made one more stop in the 15ft range and it was game on. Pass after pass we hooked up and in less then 30 minutes we had our limit; and even threw back a couple keepers. Persistence usually pays off and today proved that. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work and determination, I'll see you next time... Capt. Dan
