    Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "Greg Carlson and Brent Bixby fished with me on Monday, 7/9, in 70 feet, 36 miles west of New Pass. There were plenty of red grouper to catch, but no keepers--keepers have been very scarce lately and, even in 70 feet, that did not change. We also caught and released an 18-inch gag grouper.The guys battled a shark that was either a blacktip or a spinner, most likely a spinner--it finally wrapped the line and got off, after four runs and five jumps. Greg also caught and released a 35-inch blacknose shark. Another release was a six-pound crevalle jack. As for food-fish, the guys boxed a dozen keeper lane snapper, two yellowtail snapper at 14 inches and 15 inches, a 13-inch mangrove snapper, and a porgy."
