Catches like the one highlighted on Dec. 13th turned out to be one of the best BIG trout day since the 20" rule has been in effect. These trout were caught offshore out about 8 miles. I think the fishing pressure is less. Iron Planet's Scott Linder group all had one of over 20-inches, the largest was just under 24-inches. Although we did not photograph all the short grouper we caught they were fun and each angler had about 50 throwbacks. We kept two bluefish for a friend from the Phillipines of 1st Mate Jesse Meyer. Jesse was a huge help to us all. Earlier in the month my best Jr. First Mate is Tyler Walters made things go smoothly onboard the 24' Carolina Skiff. On a fun fishing trip, Tyler, 14 landed a 20+ inch trout using a Catch 2000-808. His brother "Buford" struck out except for some grass he could use for poke salad.
