It is an 8-10 hour ride out, and the water depth can get as deep as 40 fathoms (240 feet). Captain James reported that they caught a ton of awesome B-Liners and Gray/Mango Snappers with some keeper-sized Red Groupers and a couple of nice Blackfin Tunas. They started offshore early in the morning, and the day bite was reported good. All of the anglers really got a good workout, throwing back several nice Gag Groupers and Red Snappers.
