Offshore Bottomfishing Report From The Sea Daddy

Ran a 12 hour offshore charter with 6 anglers and had a banner trip with a limit of Red Grouper and lane, mangrove and vermillion snapper as well as porgies to cap off the box. As a bonus we brought 2 large triggerfish back to the dock and released a amberjack in the 50 lb range.

Gear List:

  • 7′ MH Fire Tire Rods & 40 lb mono
  • 4 oz sinkers and 40 lb leaders with 4/0 circle hooks.
  • The bait of choice was cut sardines and squid.

Tight Lines,
Capt Jay
