Ric,matt and myself ran down last weekend to do a little fishing. even thoe bouy weather advised against it. good thing we went anyway. the seas were great and only got better through out the day. We had no problem making bait close to shore. loaded up with green backs rockbass and even stuarts bait of choice bonefish!!!!!!!!!!!! we then ran to the 18 mile reef and started off with a nice pinto. as the day went on the afternoon bite was pretty steady we ended up with 8 pintos rangeing from 12 to 30 lbs. and also caught 4 leopard groupers. and it seemed like we could not really get the gulfs to bite. we lost 6 fish due to being pulled in the rocks. the last bite of the day was on a huge rock bass and it got nailed in seconds of hitting the bottom and there was no stopping the fish from going in its hole. we did use some 8 oz. diamond jigs and had 4 good bites and lost every jig. Man does that hurt the pocket book. we had a great time and decided to head in at about 7
o and thats when the wind picked up. had a bit of a wet run back but at least it was a following sea.
