    Default Bottom Fishing 11/30

    Fished with a buddy out of Charleston. Went out in search of a grouper, ended up with about everything but one.

    Started out in 100ft, ARS so thick you couldn't put a live bait past them on multiple spots. Tagged 14 ARS and released with the seaquilizer.

    This barotrauma release devices have come a long way and are super simple to use. We used a dedicated rod with 40oz of weight to send them back down quickly. Had to bump it up only for the really big snappers. It required 60oz to get a 33" ARS back down.

    Tagged 6 AJs as well as part of the barotrauma study. The AJs and big sharks ensured we are all sore today.

    On one shark there was a school of cobias which for the most part weren't interested in eating anything we had. Tricked one with an eel and he made it into the box.

    Bounced out to a little deeper water and caught our silvers, triggers, and vermilion.

    Ended up with two beautiful hogs as well, a first for me on hook and line.

    Ended the day after the second hog, grouperless but with a box full of fish.

    Lots of color in that box. Good job Logan.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Never caught a hog. That’s one of the fish on my bucket list.

    It's funny how certain spots hold certain fish. Our first spot all we were catching was trigger fish. Second drop was red porgy. Then we went to 95ft and was catching gags and a mixture. Nice catch!
