Gotta love the variety you can find in the salt! I fished a school of bonita last month that was probably a couple acres, had an s-waver 168 in party crasher ready to go but I was too busy throwing a stingsilver to remember that I had it!!! You ever catch a blackfin or bonita on a SB?

There are only two species I have not cuaght in my area, a bonito and a triple tail. Mainly because I dont have a bigger boat. Would love to get either on a swimbait. Just the other day I missed my first flounder on a swimmer, watched him grab it, missed the hook.

 

Is that a Scamp Grouper? I'm not good at identifying grouper outside of red, black, warsaw and goliath

 

And bluefish makes me hungry

 

Its a juvenile gag grouper. I caught a jewfish once the same size.

haha Love the shark pic... the grouper are a good fight, idk why I thought they stayed very deep inbetween rocks / holes, maybe im just thinking Red Grouper... anyways, pretty wicked!

 

You are correct they do. But when they are young they stay in the deep grass untill they are big enough to move on to the bridges and reefs. I have caught them as big as 16" out there.

Pretty cool Dave, One thing about Salt you never know what your getting into. I have fished Brackish water and am amazed what I catch there on swimbaits. So far a Speckled Trout, Bull Red, Sheepshead and something that looks like a prehistoric catfish (Grennel)while in a Bass Tournament in Pascagoula River. Really nice job.
