Captain Alex is a master of multiple fishing styles, and on June 23 he showed Patrick Maloney’s group his bottom-fishing skills.

Red Grouper were schooled up about 10 miles offshore and the Harvester was dropping weights and bending rods all day long.

They worked their way closer to shore, finishing off much closer to shore with this fine Jack Crevalle.
