Rick as of 4 pm Friday we weren't going out, the family talked me into it and i'm glad they did, sometimes the spur of the moment trips work out the best, we were out beaching it one Saturday ( i always have some poles with me and some kind of bait) well about 3 pm we were riding along Lido beach in the gulf i just started running offshore, about 10 miles out i run over some good bottom stop and fish it and bang 25 lb Red Grouper, well worth the detour.
Side note, we could see land at 17 miles out and had cell service
Fernando we have alot of fish sandwiches to come, ended up with 20 lbs of fillets.
