Report From Pepperfish
Pepperfish is between Horseshoe and Stienahatchee. FL.
Larger muscle than last year. More plentiful too. First time in the water the three of us had 10 to 20 each. Had 3 gallons in no time. Garlic and butter with a little seasoning. Sweet as can be.
Looks like the scallops could be found just north of Horseshoe channel also as evidenced by the 50 boats there. Water clarity was good. The Suwannee isn't flowing so the water is clear closer to the mouth this year.
Suwannee offshore 18 miles Saturday,(36 ft. deep)Fishing solo, managed to catch and release two short gags. Tablefare of 3 black seabass, 1 nice speck, 2 sandtrout, and a bakers dozen on the gray snapper.LOL.(aka Pink Mouth Grunt) All on a Gulp Bait.
Better fishing was had by neighbors that ventured farther offshore. The Red Snapper bite was strong. Hadn't planned to go offshore, got to the flats and the water was perfect so I could not resist. Now if I just had some numbers...
