I was lucky enough to have a day off from work when the weather was decent for a run to find some grouper.  Nice run out, some slight chop, and a little chilly, but the day warmed up nicely, and overall it was beautiful out there.  My first spot I decided to drop a mingo rig with some cut squid on two 1-0 Owner hooks.  After pulling up a few porgy's, I had a nibble, then thought I was rocked up when all of sudden the drag started screaming.  This was my small rod, with 40lb test braid, but after about 15 minutes of fighting, I landed the largest AJ I have ever caught.  A poor 15inch scamp was on the other hook along for the ride.  I can't believe that tiny hook and light line landed this guy!

The rest of the day was hit or miss, but I did find a couple keeper red grouper, and decent scamp, and a trigger to round out the fish box.

 

Like others out there, could not find the mingos today like I had in these spots last month.  Every time I'm out there now I see commercial boats with bandit rigs fishing the area--I wonder if the mingos are getting fished out, or if they have just moved to other areas.

After cleaning the boat, and entertaining my 4 year old twins with the fish, my wife decided to take this artistic shot of the two red grouper.  She calls this one "French Kiss".

Finally it was dinner time.  Used the scamp and trigger, seasoned with fresh dill, green onions, capers, lemon zest, then cooked in foil on the green egg and topped with some pan sauteed Panko crumbs.

Sure was nice to get out and relax, and was a beatiful day for January.

Congrats on the AJ, looks like a decent fish. Those groupers look pretty darn tasty too.

Good job with the Aj on light tackle...

It was tough out there today but you managed a nice haul for the table...

I also wondered about the commercial boats while out there but hope the recent high pressure systems has everything all screwed up...

Great report and pics. Sure glad to see someone fishing out there, because this weather is killing us. Me and Russian are sure ready to catch an AJ that size! The capers were a nice touch.

OHHHHH boy that AJ looks fine brother....  Cut that joker into steaks and blacken that sucker on a hot skillet....Man I'm hungry!

Learn to post like the pro's from the Official PFF Po-Po!

Because our family is growing every day, newer folks should learn to post their threads w/ pics correctly without having to click on each picture

This does not work w/ all browsers...Those not using Internet Explorer may have to go to a photo gallery of sorts to load their pics...  you can use this free photo gallery by PFF : http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/default.asp?reason=You%20Are%20Logged%20Out!

Step 1: When in your body of the thread look at the bar above that looks like this :::            IFCode

Step 2:  Click on the icon that looks like      

Step 3:  A new window will open up and click BROWSE to find your pic, then up load it.

Step 4:  If your are posting more then 1 pic, after every picture finishes loading hit the enter button to move the cursor back to the far left (underneath the last picture poster) so pictures will not load side by side taking up more area (having to scroll right to read and see pics)

Step 5:  When you are finished loading your pics and your body of your thread is complete, post it

POSTING YOUTUBE VIDEO's:  (compliments of jim t)

When you post, at the bottom of the window there are two buttons saying "Design" and "HTML" . I write my post, when I want to insert the video I switch to "HTML" then paste the "Embed code" off the youtube page, then switch back to "design" When you switch into "HTML" you'll get some wierd coding on what you have already posted, but when you switch back to "Design" it will apperar normal and the video will pop up.
