Decided to try the Gulf Coast for some grouper. Couldn't decide whether to go to St. Pete, where we know some good holes, or try Crystal River. At the last minute, a buddy came thru with some numbers so we tried Crystal River. Once again, the weather was snotty! 2-3 ft seas, 15 knot wind and very, very choppy. Cruised out the river and stopped to catch bait. After catching 3 dozen or so pins, we cruised on out. Very bumpy ride. Got to hole #1, NADA! Hole #2, NADA again! Hole #3, ZILCH! Hole #4 Someone else was right on. Bummer. Decided to slow troll to the next hole. ZING. Nasty kingfish. Hole #5 GOLD BABY!!! Caught 4 keeper GAG in about 15 minutes. Must have caught at least 45-50 shorts and 4 more keepers. To bad we already had our limit. Ride back in was much smoother with the wind at our back. Until next time......... wishing you all tight lines!
