That is really good news V. I think the stench of the National Marine Fisheries Service must've finally reached the executive branch, they didn't just do it out of the goodness of their hearts. Either way, it is a great blessing. As you know, there are more red snapper now than at any time in modern history and for the feds to set a three day recreational season was an insult to anyone who ever baited a hook. I've got plans to pull a few more over the side myself in the next few months. I've never caught a strawberry grouper but they sure look beautiful in pictures. I did catch my first rock hind (Kitty Mitchell) a few weeks ago, they are really pretty too and mighty fine eating as well. I've been to the Bahamas a few times but never fished there. Snorkeling around some of the islands and seeing the huge multitude of flag yellowtails and grouper sure did whet my appetite though.
