Based on a tip provided by club members Bill Scharf and Bob Barter from the WCC#3 tournament -- Alan Buchanan and I went out to a spot 25 miles offshore or so to hunt for the grandaddy of all grouper (cuberra?) they supposedly saw. Anyway, per the report it was to be well over 100 pounds and didn't have a round tail...
Needless to say, we found nothing of that size (other than the ever present jewfish -- and it was way bigger than that). But we had a beautiful couple of dives in 75ft...over 40 feet of vis...and shot a few fish. Flat seas, good vis and cold celebratory libations...can't beat that! Vis has been improving the further you get past 60 feet.
Another report from the tournament was that the gags are holding on bait schools over hardbottom NW in 75-80'...hundreds of them. No wonder we haven't seen many on the usual structure and spots.
For those of you that don't know it, as a club we actually took second out of seven clubs in the WCC#2, beating out the SPUCs, the TBSC, and several others. Respectable showing for sure...no results out for #3 yet.
