Made the call to try it late Tuesday and loaded the boat. Left the dock at 6 and had lines in by 7:45 in about 250ft. Didnt take long to start working on them and stayed steady all morning. Scattered grass all morning and nice sized fish, pulled 3 20lb+ fish off the spreader bar with a pitch bait while fighting other fish. Found a huge weedline around lunch but didnt have anything with any size to(peanuts/slingers) it so we eased back towards the scattered grass and picked up a few more nice size gaffers. The bite slowed and we headed to the hill at 2. Made 30 on the way out and 35 on the way in, not a bad day on the water. Started catching fish in 275ft and pushed out to 700ft, most fish caught between 350ft and 500ft, heard some radio chatter about a fishless weedline in 1000ft. Only had 3 of us on the boat today and we got a pretty good workout. Getting her cleaned up for Islamorada the end of next week.
