I had a busy Saturday today with 2 charters. I have been cobia fishing a lot lately so I decided to change gears and see how the bay grouper are biting. The bite was great and we caught a 3 man limit of grouper along with some really nice snappers. Did almost the same thing on the second trip but threw in a handful of bull reds. Used live pinfish and croakers along with dead menhaden and northern mackerel.

I had a great crew on Saturday. I guided Brittany King, Tony Coughlin and Dawna Fackrell on an afternoon Sheepshead trip. The winds were a stiff 20+ knots out of the South East and the temperatures were in the 50′s. We arrived at the North jettie to find several boats already there. After finding our spot and sinking the anchor we started deploying our live shrimp.
We were hooked up very quickly with Dawna landing our first keeper of the day. She was followed very quickly by Brittany who had a keeper of her own. The action stayed pretty steady for about an hour and a half with Tony getting in the mix to land a few as well. Shortly before calling our trip early due to increasing wave size caused by the stiff winds. Dawna hooked our biggest fish of the day. She boated a 4.6lb stud Sheepshead!
Total catch was 7 Sheepshead and one large stingray. We had a fun afternoon and if the winds would have cooperated we would have surely filled the cooler in no time!
