By: sleepy Mood: Bored Date: Jun 04, 2007 Music: None

Well I met up with Josh Friday night at about 4 pm after trying to catch bait at the skyway for nearly an hour while Trop Storm Barry started coming through. It was windy, rainy and nasty out. Well I waited on Josh for a while becuase he had to stop and get a rain suit, which was a smart idea. Anyway, after Josh arrived, I showed off the new 4/0 that I bought and we started trying to catch some pinfish for our grouper fishing. I managed no bait, josh pulled up a dozen greenbacks and sardines. Well we went to first grouper hole, # ###.... I forget which number hmmm. Anyways we drop down some baits and after a little bit we get nothing so we move to grouper hole ###, we drop down and josh gets hit, then I started gettng hit, but no fish, josh moves down one more whole and it doesnt take  10 mins and up come a nice 24 inch grouper, Josh freelined, and Ifished on bottom so we  could see what works, Well both way s were working Josh caught that on a squirell fish, then he managed a pin fish, starts floating it out, and bam, it doesn even get out all the way and he gets nailed, a fat, 20 incher.... almost  but not quite, aafter a little longer I get nailed and pull  up a fat little 18 inch grouper. Well we ran out of bait and couldn't catch any more that succked becuase the grouper bite was on....
