Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report
28 September 2008
Days are shorter and the water temperature is falling close to 80 degrees. Subtle changes in the environment indicate fall is on its way. Fishing has been good and now it is even better. This past weekend we really enjoyed catching Mangrove Snapper over three pounds. Lots of bigger Grunts, and a cooler full of big Gag Grouper. Depth of water did not seem to matter; the fishing was great everywhere we dropped our anchor. Large schools of bait were working their way south. Unfortunately the bait fish were under attack by Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Bonita's, and bottom fish like Grouper and Snapper. An amazing event to witness; more action than we have seen in months.

Sea ya on the water,
Capt Rick
