    That was this April 4-5. My daughter did the filming but slept all of the first day. She had a scopolamine patch on that knoced her out cold. Most of the grouper were caught day one. We did another trip, 16 hours on April 11 and had a bigger load at the dock. We didn't do any film, just still pictures. We might do a slide show. The snapper aren't legal till June 1.

    I've never boated lots of grouper, only here and their. Using Grouper rigs with shrimp or cut bait? I've found that big ones like cut bait, and smaller like the live shrimp. I usually go to the boxcars, around 20 miles offshore of Englewood. Any info on tarpon? Never tried it and like to catch some during their run.

    The only time I ever caught Tarpon was out of Miami.

    Default Tarpon in Florida Marlin in Cabo

    Some of the best Tarpon fishing in florida is around Pine Island near Fort Myers Beach in May. I'm heading there in a couple of weeks. and will report back.

    And, Here is a 200+ pound Striped Marlin I took off of Cabo, MX earlier this month.

    Not walleye, but fun and brought back 50 pounds of marlin fillets

    Now that is freaking awsome. I have caught many sailfish and swordfish, but never a marlin. Very cool.

    You guys sound like quite the saltwater fisherman, as well as freshwater. Thanks for the help. I'm just starting out in saltwater, and its a whole different element than freshwater. I'm not going marlin or sailfish fishing, but 50 pounds off of one marlin, is just enough to make you lick your chops.
