| We decided we'd done enough worrying and watching the hurricane and realized no matter how much we watched the projected path of Gustav, we had no control over it. It was real nice to take a break, forget about everything for a day and go out fun fishing. The perfect weather, good solunar phase and great crew combined to allow us to have a great trip. We bumped around in 200'-220' for a while and caught 2 real nice red groupers and 5 gags. The gags were a real good grade, with 2 or 3 in the mid 20 lb range. The bite eventually died off al little and we got tired of weeding through snapper so we moved out a little deeper. We proceeded to catch one scamp and snowy after another. The scamp were a good grade and while the snowys were pretty small. Before we knew it, we had our 6 man limit of 30 groupers so we decided to head back into state waters and catch a limit of snappers. This did not take long and we had 12 snapper, most between 18-21". We had a full fish box and the beer was about gone and it was time to head in. We had a great time and ended up with a ton of meat. Can't wait until next time! Here are a few pics:

This particular trip just about everything was caught on live bait but it has varied lately from trip to trip.
