yea there was plenty around but no real big ones, many small ones and unfortunately some of the under size fish were stuffed when they came up from the depth.
the biggest pink snapper on this trip was actually taken on a trolling lure for mackerel when the boat slowed to wind in the lures thats when it hit, quite amazing it rised from the bottom in about 20m of water.

scottlil: yea it was on rat patrol 5 day trip the best charter Ive been on definitely going again :)
