March 19th, 2008 The Viking Superstar returned Sunday with grouper hanging all down the side of the boat! Capt. Carl reported: With a loaded boat of eager fishermen aboard, we headed out Friday night at 8:00pm and started fishing at 3:00am. The first couple of spots produced a handful of Red Groupers, some mangrove snappers, and scamps. As daybreak came, the gags started biting! We had numerous stops in the first couple of hours with gags and large red groupers flying over the rails. A little after noon, the bite finally slowed down, so we bounced around catching some porgies, mangos, and scamps. For sundown, we headed over to a wreck and it was LOCK AND LOAD!! Large gags and some Red Groupers, (including the pool winner) were landed. Also, we raised and released a Goliath grouper as well. **MIDDLE GROUNDS GROUPER OPENER**
Marty Grasso of Spring Hill, FL was the lucky pool winner with a 24 lb RED grouper (he also had 6 gags, another Red Grouper, and a full stringer of mangos). Dan Baxter of Davenport, FL took the snapper pool with a FAT 8.8 pound mango, and Tim Verh took the AJ pool with a 25 pound AJ he jigged off a wreck. We’re looking forward to getting back out to the Middle Grounds this Friday! We’ll also be fishing Half Day, 8 Hour and 16 Hour trips this week. Plus Capt. Rich has added several 24 Hour trips on the Gulfstar in response to the June 1st opening of American Red Snapper.
