Valentine day grouper and tile

[1bandit]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 6:00 we scraped ice off the windshield and headed for Fort Morgan. We were pleasantly surprised by less than 1" seas and a balmy 45 deg air temperature at the mouth of the bay. After discovering a problem with my newly installed scuppers (they spray water in the boat while under way, never a good thing.) We headed out to a ledge I found on the Kiva bath charts. We saw Team Recess disciplining some reef donkeys on our way out to deep water. Jessie dropped down and pulled up 3 grouper on the first drop. Burt was right behind him with another, though slightly handicapped with with a very light rod that he kept bent in a U shape most of the day. After limiting out on snowies we caught a half dozen tile fish had headed in. After the sun came up it warmed to about 55 degrees and turned in a great day. Thanks Burt and Jessie for crewing.
