Hunting season over but no tears!!! Now its FISH ON!!!!

clap:clap

Me, and a couple guys from work (Tom & Doug) went out w/ Tom's brother Rob on his 23 Ft. Proline "The RODFATHER".We finished fueling up and getting ready to hit the water then started double thinking stuff we were missing...Doug had never been out on a big boat so he needed a fishing license and we thought about a few more fishing items needed so to Walmart we go! As we are waiting, I checked my license that I thought was good till the end of the month...oooops it expired the day prior!:banghead Rob's had expired too so 3 outta 4 were saved. Got our stuff and headed to the launch... Was trying to find live bait around Destin Pass and NADA,ZILCH,NOTHING:banghead:banghead:banghead Back to the marina fer some frozen cig's and squid. Got everything we needed and started to head out. Sea's were 1-2 and the sun was warming up. Got to a spot about 20 miles out and was pinging fish left and right all over the water colum:clap Since this was a 1st trip fer Doug, he got the honor of 1st catch (We let him know that that honor also allowed him to be the boat cleaner at the end of the trip:reallycrying)

He caught a nice Red Snapper.....and his luck was gonna get better.....:clap

He caught the next fish too, which was a small Grouper....but who cares we were catching fish!!!

During the course of the day he also caught an unknown type of ??? (we guessed some kind of Snaper) The fish wasn't on any chart Rob had so I KNOW there are tons of ya'll that know what it is so PLEASE sound off...

When in doubt, throw em' out....Probably a keeper or bait though:banghead

We snagged more Red Snappers and Grouper, and Tom caught a keeper AJat this wreck and then decided to go closer to inshore fer anotherspot and hammered the Mangrove (no pics cause we brought them up 1 after the other), more Groupers, Triggers, andRed Snappers. I cannot believe I did not catch 1 sneaker head!!! I am the Remorah King and we did not catch 1, I guess as theCobia close in and the sharks start coming in thicker...THEY WILL COME:banghead

Weather forecasts advised seas would die out to the end of the day and I'll be dern......Their 1-2 ft. seas were actually 5-6 ft. seas w/ winds coming outta the west:banghead:banghead:banghead We all got a bad case of the wet arse and cold as heck!!! It was a great trip all in all and although we didn't bring but an AJ home, it was way better then being at work or doing them honey do's!!! Thanks Rob and ya'll give him a big WELCOME to the forum as he is now a member!!!
