Gags,Scamps,Almacos, and some large AJ'S Aboard RECESS

recess · 01-09-2009, 06:50 PM

Some times the weather person get's it right, but today was not one of them. Brad, Rob, Tim and myself made up the crew. We tried for some live bait, but only could catch pigfishwhich were a little large for what we were trying to catch today. "Running out was a little sporty,"said one of the crew members, another said it was rough,anotheronesaid, "it was down right rough" "why don't we just turn around". But once again we keep our course heading south. We stopped in about 175 feet and caught a few scamp andAJ after AJ. They ate what little live bait we had. The red snappers were there again as usual. Rob did manage to knock Tim off the grouper master pole. Now Rob can watch out for us trying to take his title. LOL. Brad said at the end of the day he needs to go to the gym and work out a little more. (I think he will be a little sore after today). We left about two with the seas building and ran in to clean a few fish. Hope this wind slows down a little so we can all get out again before the close of gag season.The AJ's were in the mid 50 pound range.And the gagwas 30. One gaint almaco.Dont that poor 25 inch gag on the bottom right looks small next to the other ones'? Gene and Crew

You ask how rough was it out there ? Look at the second picture that Rob added belowwere Tim's holding the AJ with reguards to the horizon and the stern of the boat

A Few pictures from the trip Friday. As Tim would say, " Its just a little bit brisk." Always a great trip anytime you can get offshore.

Tim Bowed up on another Jack.

Tim with a nice Jack.

Rob with his Gag. I guess the seas were pretty rough or Gene thought I was to ugly to be in the picture.

Rough Day

Sounds like a heck of a day, just imagine what you would have done with a well slam full of live bait! Congrats on another fine box of fish.
