SUBJECT: Buckets abound - Clearwater Beach, Florida

We decided to Brave the elements and the fuel dock vulchers this morning, and cruised on out despite the ludicrous grouper closure to see what we could find inside of 9 miles.

Within minutes of stopping on our favorite grunt/perch hole, we were greeted with this nice bucket head. After having pulled our limit within the hour, we perused several of our 'inshore 8 mile' holes and still pulled reasonable fish up.

Take a kid fishing and spread the joy. Their still out and about, and despite the commissions best efforts at shutting down the little guy, we still prevailed. Now if we can beat down the fuel dock vulchers, we'll have the battle won!
