			Yep, only 5 BSB per person and 5 b-liners per person for us too. Threw back a lot of 13 - 13.5 inch keeper BSB and b-liners since we were catching bigger ones. Tried briefly for a grouper until something toothy broke me off and I gave up. Saw a HUGE cuda that my buddy thought was a cobia. Biggest cuda I've ever seen.  Did not try for kings this trip.

			I dont know blue....a little dissapointed on your fishing report...your reports usually read like a good book!  A nice intro setting up the trip.....building suspense as the trip goes on and then a good finish........lets try a little better next time will ya?

			Point taken.  Will spice it up a little more next time.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
			![]() That was the only picture I had. Should've taken more but the captain is a young USAF guy and I had a white knuckle deathgrip on the t-top supports a lot of the time. Half way out running in the dark when Top Gun theme song came on......I knew it was gonna be trouble....and it was!!!!

			Nice goin on the Seabass.  I had to learn the hard way to stay away from those "two-speed" captains.  A badly bruised tailbone and no dookie for 10 days will teach you well!!!!! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I was gonna say your silver snapper is actually a Pink Porgy but I see now where they are one in the same. Guess it depends on geo. location as to what you call it though it is a porgy and not a snapper.....Very good eatin none the less!!!!!

			Right on about the Red/Pink Porgy vs. Silver Snapper.  I'm just getting into this bottom fishing thing so I've been trying to do my homework on species id and bag limits.  Last thing you want to do is keep something illegal, one too many or one too small!   The Red Porgy looks a lot like a sheepshead to me, which is also a porgy.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Seabass were all 14" + up to 17" or 18" I'm guessing. Did not measure the big ones. Smallest beeliners were 13.5". We were trying to keep 14" and up on both. Wish we could've caught some triggers. Never had any.
