After a couple of slow weeks, I finally got back offshore fishing on Saturday, with Scott Fandrich, brother Shon Fandrich, and friends Bill Fisher, Lonnie Stuber, and Mark Tullin. We fished with live shrimp, about 20 miles out of New Pass, and caught a good variety of fish, including keeper mangrove snapper, triggerfish, porgies, and Spanish mackerel to 25 inches. We released red grouper and mutton snapper shorts.
