Early on Andy Little released a Tarpon and Cliff had a beauty jump away fraying through the trace. A few other bites were missed and plenty of Shark action was had with Cathy catching a Bullshark and Blacktip.

At 11 am we moved offshore to a wreck in the gulf of Mexico. We were hoping for Permit which we saw quite a few but they refused our offerings, But plenty of big fish were around and we stayed busy the whole time. Bullsharks, Blacktip and Spinner sharks.

A pair of Cobia swam up and Adam Taylor got one on a light Bonefish Trek rod.

Cliff Fox caught the really big fish of the day, A 200lb+ Goliath Grouper, Cliff used the Trek boatrod rated 30-50lb line. This fish fought hard and it took 30 minutes of hard pulling for Cliff to reel it in. 95 degree heat and slick calm, Great job Cliff.
