Hog fish and Hotties 8-23

Took a trip With Capt Pete Perry and numerous co workers from Lucky’s card space and we have been targeting snapper on a ledge/rock pile about 20 miles west of St Pete.The mangrove bite was slow but surprisingly the hog snapper bite produced up for that.We caught a dozen mangos and five hogs on live bait on jig heads with lite leaders.The mangos desired the miraha and the hogs wanted live shrimp.Also there was a number of short cause fish and scamps launched.The gags and red grouper were on fire with the swim bait method,we released a number of keeper gags but none of the reds measured.
