I'm sad to say, today was the last day of the 2013 gag grouper season for our area and was it ever great. Just about every charter produced limits of quality keeper gags and throughout the five months of the open season, only a very few short fish were caught. As many of you know, shallow water grouper is one of my passions and I take a lot of pride to produce for all of you great clients. I seldom go past the 25ft range and trolling is my favorite method to target them, with casting plugs and bottom fishing following. With the new limits, fuel prices and fewer anglers on the water, the gag grouper stocks have rebounded very, very well. I don't know what the 2014 gag grouper season will bring, but when the dates are posted, I'll let you all know. To end the season, my wife and I did another fun day and we caught some quality fish in 7ft range casting plugs. F18 Rapala's were the magic lures and we get to enjoy some fresh grouper in the coming weeks. I thank each of you that fished with me this season and look forward to next years memories... Capt. Dan
