We made an attempt to go long for scamp yesterday but the Wx man lied to us, forecast was less than a foot, as we got about 40 miles out the wind started to pick up from the East...not good...! We got out about 48 miles tried to fish the deep reef for scamp but the wind was blowing 16-20 by then and we could not hold the spots, fishing deep was futile so we headed in to about 135 feet of water. Caught 7 big triggerfish and 5 nice vermillion snapper. Headed in for shallow water red grouper but seas were really bad by then, caught a couple more triggerfish and we threw in the towel and headed back. Tough day on the water but it did beat the heck out of shopping with the ladies!
