Anglers aboard the Sweet Jody with Capt. Cliff Cox came in around 4:30 p.m. and weighed in three fish - a 5.6-pound grouper,  a 5.4-pound red snapper and a 1.8-pound triggerfish.

All three fish took daily spots on the leaderboard. Word is it only took about five minutes to weigh all three.

Weighmaster Bruce Cheves didn’t know if anyone else would show - however it didn’t matter, he said.

“I’ll be here until close and walk the walk at 7  - if the wind doesn’t blow me off the docks,” he said.

Thursday morning around 11 o’clock Weighmaster Bruce Cheves said he had seen the party boat Sweet Jody head out, but he wasn’t sure if anyone else was out fishing.

Nevetheless he said, “We’re here to do what we do. Sure we have to make preparations to get through the bad weather … but we don’t leave.”
The scales will be open today until 7 p.m..
“We’re going to hang out and do what we have to do.” Cheves said.

On Wednesday, Cheves weighed in eight fish including a red snapper, grouper and amberjack.

Nothing so far today.
