Graham Connor and fifteen year old son, Brenden, fished with me in 35 feet out of New Pass on Thursday. Using live shrimp, we caught lots of Spanish mackerel to 26 inches, and keeper mangrove and lane snapper.
We released kingfish, all short of the 24 inch minimum, along with ladyfish and cravalle jack. We caught four moon fish (also known as "look-downs"), and kept two of those, along with keeper mangrove and lane snapper, and Spanish mackerel to 24 inches, when Tom Coleman and friends, Don and Russ, fished with me Saturday.
We also released a 4 pound goliath grouper and short red grouper. The photo shown is of angler Tom Budzynski, with a 50 + pound goliath grouper, released on a recent offshore trip.
