Awesome Snapper trip aboard C.A.T.

Boardfeet · 08-01-2008, 11:46 AM

We left Zekes at about 4:45 am. Seas were probably 4-5 out of the w/sw and we were heading right into them. First drop was scheduled for somewhere around 10:30. There was nine fishermen aboard. Our goal was to find "Big Red" We didn't get him but we did pretty well. Made it back to the marina at about 8:00pm.Some of the pics are kinda fuzzy as my camera was inside the refrigerated / not air conditioned / boat.

Keith Cantwell with a couple of the bigger fish....est 15-17#

Chris and Shane at the cleaning station, Thats the electric knife I was using in the foreground. It had a tendency to give you a little shock every now and then.

On our next trip we plan to target Grouper. Deep Dropping for Yellow edge.

Thank You Tommy Holmes for the opportunity to go on this awesome trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bowdown:bowdown

Caught my biggest snapper ever aboard the C.A.T. a few years ago 25.5lbs, while that fish was coming up the guy next to me caught one that went 22lbs and there were a couple more that were in the 20lb range that day. Awesome trip, those guys really know what their doing and can put you on the fish.

That there is a fine haul of them there almost extinct Red Snapper. Be glad you caught them when you did because in a few more days they are gone again until next year.

Thanks Hoo. The camera was inside the cabin and when I brought it out the lens fogged :banghead:banghead

Wish I could have gotten some action shots.
