Well, actually it is a travesty of common human rights that Gag fishing is going to be closed for six months this year. The fall/winter 2010 season of grouper fishing has been one of the best in terms of quantity of fish and quality of fish being landed. Full limits of Red and Gag grouper with majority of fish well over the minimum size limit would sort of indicate that the stocks are in good shape??? Well, the fisheries scientists do not think so. So be it, there are other fish in the sea! I know one thing, the Snapper and Amberjack are going to suffer under the hands of my crew. We have already been filling the coolers with many different species of Snapper. The bag limits of Greater Amberjack are easy to attain. Along the way we are forced to catch and release Gag grouper that are absolutely beautiful, healthy, and delicious. But really? When you are catching 7 pound Mangrove Snapper and 12 pound Mutton Snapper on light spinning gear and having a blast doing it, you forget all about the pain of releasing Grouper. And believe me, a bag limit of Snapper is more fun, and tastes better than a bag limit of Grouper!
Call Captain Travis Ormond for a wicked hott Snapper trip! 941.374.1669.
