Went out with Rick and Tommy today, hit some of tommy's spots. we did 3 dives each and had our grouper limit by the second dive. we went to a 3rd location which had some hook and liners, a man and his wife. We asked if we could dive the spot and that we had already limited out on gags they were cool with is as we asked nicely . We had a cold 62 degree water and roughly 15 to 20 foot vis but it was doable, just cold and green. rick got a stud 8 lb bug on the first dive and proceeded to whack a nice gag and a few doormats on the second dive. Tommy smacked 2 nice gags on his first dive and got a couple other fish as well, nice job tommy your the man. I had a slow start shooting nothing on the first dive and only one flounder on the second dive. the next dive I was able to hook into a couple nice gags both put up a decent fight, one almost took my mask off. we had 6 gags 20lbs to 25 lbs, probably 9 flounder a couple sheeps and the 8 lb bug. Today was an excellent trip and the seas were pretty nice on top. At one point fog rolled in and got so thick we had a hard time finding tommy when he popped up but a dive alert and a quick scan and we found him but the fog rolled out as fast as it rolled in, maybe 1 hour of real dense fog. I have to thank Rick again for the great trip out and Tommy for sporting the locations.

The colder waters do bring in the gags. Our date is about March 1st and then they will swarm us down here.

Dang, that's a big bug!!
