Hello fellas, it’s been quite a number of years since I have posted a report. I had taken a hiatus from fishing, but have recently started back up. I’ve been on a few hogfish trips over the last couple of weeks and have greatly enjoyed myself. I have forgotten how much I enjoyed fishing. I am planning on going again next week. Last trip I had three keeper hogfish which is not bad for a boy from Jersey. I also caught some grouper which had to go back and the number of grunts, which were excellent eating. I live on the East Coast, but have been fishing the Gulf of America side. I found a really good head boat out of Hernando Beach. I look forward to posting many more reports. It’s good to be back and hello to all of my old friends.

Nice fish Steve, good to see you posting again. Brings back old memories! Hogfish are supposed to be excellent eating so enjoy the fruits of your labor. Just curious, do you still have the air boat and do guided tours if my memory serves me well?

Yes bill. I still drive airboats for a living. Not far from Disney.
