5-22-10 Day Trip

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Greetings All,
We had a great trip Saturday 5-22-10. The weather was excellent but the morning fishing was S-L-O-W. I could not buy a fish at the supermarket. We would move and drop…nothing, move and drop….nothing. I was sweating it. Then about 12:30-1:00pm….you would have thought the dinner bell rang and it was GANG BUSTERS! 2 at a time as hard as we could go. The next 2 hours saved the day. The trip turned out to be pretty dog gone good!

Greetings All,

We had a great weekend on the water.  The weather was decent for the most part.  Little bouncy in the afternoon but overall pretty decent.

Saturday we had a Day trip with my friends from Pa.!

The fishing WAS HOTT!

We had a mess of Grouper, we limited on Vermillion Snapper, Silver Snapper and came real close to our limit in GIANT Blueheaded Seabass.

It was one of those days were the fish were chewing the bottom out of the boat.  I was very pleased.

Sunday….

OOOhhhhhhhhhh what a differance a day makes.  We were in the same area as Saturday, doing the same things and just about could not buy a fish at the fish market.  We scraped together a catch but we had to work for each and every one.  The vermillion never did really bite.  There were some decent catches but overall it was a hard day on the water.

Looks like we have a decent weekend coming next weekend and we have our 1st 24 hour overnight trip of the year.  I am really looking forward to it.  It will be time to HUNT some of those fat Red Groupers I have been dreaming of.

Lets go kill something!

The Season has begun…

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Greetings All,

We started the season with a BANG…too bad it was the wrong kind.  We had a day trip Saturday.  The boat was slam full….and it was blowing it’s butter bean off!  20-25 knots.  The fishing stunk.  The weather was nasty and the catch showed it.  In seas that big it is hard to hit what spots.  Getting the anchor to hold is all but impossible and even when we are on the fish the angler can not hold bottom and can not “Feel” the bite.  It just made for a tough day all the way around.  We caught a mess of Triggerfish and some Silver Snappers.  The water was still real cold.  I did not take a single picture. 

Hopefully we will have it better next weekend. 

Till Then!
