11lb Red Emp

Basically no swell had one morning where it got a bit rough though but the rest of the week was perfect even the cruise out and back was smooth.

I am going in July on the Grayscout and it cannot come quick enough. What part of Swains did you fish I have heard stories that the Southern end was damaged earlier this year did you notice this?
Do you stay in one spot or travel around?
Did you have more success in deeper water due to the damage done to the shallower reefs?

its hard to find any info on the Grayscout so if you could PM me some details or info I would be very grateful
