With threats of rain the last couple of days, boats have still managed to venture out for some good catches.
Texas and Missouri anglers on the Winter Wine with Capt. Billy Teems brought in a good catch of mingo, white snapper, triggerfish and lane snapper.
"We know where some grouper live too," said Capt. Teems. "We broke off a few."
Chicago and Texas anglers on the Stress Relief with Capt. Scott Robinson came in from a five-hour trip with a king mackerel, scamp and a limit of mingo.
Capt. Steve Hauesler and crew aboard the First Light came in with a rack full of mingo, white snapper and triggerfish.
"Fishing was awesome!" said Capt. Casey Weldon on the Fish-N-Fool. "There was a little bit of a ground swell," he said. But it didn't slow his group down. They managed to land triggerfish, mingo and what Capt. Weldon called the "elusive white snapper."

Indiana anglers aboard the 100 Proof with Capt. Nick Hunter filled the board with some big mingo, white snapper and a lane snapper. Hunter said they also hooked and released a 150-pound shark.
"We had to pull all the lines in" while the angler had the shark on. It took about 20 minutes to get it to the boat before they released it.
