July 4th Weekend Report

[Shawno]

We fished half days on Friday and Sunday at 12 to 16 miles out in 100 to 130 feet of water. We caught 2 gulf grouper at 20 and 50 pounds, 8 leopard grouper at 15 to 20 pounds, 1 small pinto, and a yellowtail. All were caught on live bait, except the yellowtail was caught jigging. We even caught a golden grouper. It was another awesome weekend in the Sea of Cortez. We hope to fish again on Saturday and explore the inshore reefs.

If you don't stop catching those golden grouper, you'll get bad ju-ju!!

Hey Shawno.........

Great catch!

I had an addicted fish attack when I first opened your pix. Got out a thick slab of last months Sardinero from my deep freeze, gonna broil it with a little olive oil and Italiano spices, then at the last minute gonna cover it with shredded mozzarella and a hand full of capers and just EAT IT!

BTW the yellow macho boys are a little tough and lean compared to the standard fattie chickie spotted models. I usually toss em back.
