Throwing away all other lures....except forthese ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and maybe I'll keep a few gulps for the bottom.

Launched FOG THIRTY at 17th Avenueboat ramp. Fished by train tracks with no luck.. and as soon as fog lifted...headed forGulf Breeze. I passed three wadingthe entrance to Hoffmans Bayou...thats weekend fishing :bangheadso headed a little west not much. Arrived at 9:00 am and started fishing with 27MR XLjust a few pics...

LOST ALL HIS SPOTS...

Ended up catching three, all about 15"...all released... Oh wellit's hard to take pic without thebetter half...HAD to work:reallycrying

Got back to 17th with Officer M. Manning waiting on the shore...he didn't know a little boat could carry so much shittttt!!!!but the right shittt!!! received my "SAFETY CHECK 2008 STICKER".We ended up talking for awhile... COOL dude MANN!!! Also,met CCC he and his wife were out trying to catch ared fishwith no LUCK...seemed like nice Peeps!!!

AND NOWE DIDN'T FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH... POPS IN-LAW went off to a better place...STILL picking up all the pieces... needed a break TODAY!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your Pop's In law, those are tough times.

Glad you caught a few fish, guess my fish in the water techinique is catching on!

THANKS ALL!!!!!

Yeah,I remember that red. He was beat up! I have noticed more reds this year that are a little beat up. Theory....maybe we're releasing more, that's a good thing!!

Happy fishing!

good to see you get back out. love the pics!

Bay Pirate · 10-25-2008, 08:08 PM

By the way, I was noticing your knot on the top water lure. I am no telling you what to do, but for me, unless there's a ring on the nose,I have gone exclusively to a loop knot , so the bait has a more natural action!

PS: same with jigs, but don'ttell anyone it's a secret!

That one is Bairdiella chrysura, the silver perch.... still in the drum family.... (have heard some call them a slang term something like "momzelle"???) great live bait!

Glad you got out and thanks for therecommendation on the lure.....:clap

Coryphaena, I thought is was a baby white trout...but the yellow fins didn't look right... now I know:banghead The late BOB ROZIER... AKA Capt Wes... "POPS" handed down this knot in his living room...1976...and thats the way it remains...tried both ways, I think it a skill factor and a lot of luck...and determination.Too much action and the treble will hook theleading line...who knows..what ever works for ya MAN!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
