I had the chance today to join my good friend and great new young Captain, Clay Shidler, for an exploring offshore trip. We checked some deep hard bottom areas for red grouper and did well. The action wasn't non stop, but steady and we caught some real nice red grouper. The 50ft range was the hot spot and we fished low profile live bottom areas, as opposed to the larger rock structures that the gag grouper prefer. Spro buck tail jigs and live pin fish were the baits of choice. It was a treat for me to go out a little further than I can in my boat and I thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan
