Nipple, Elbow Spur area

We are heading out to these areas about 4 AM out of Destin tomorrow morning. I am waiting on my roffs to come in but just wanted to compare notes with anyone who might be headed out that way tomorrow.

Yeah, the Lucky Lady is heading out at 5:30am from Pensacola. We plan on starting around the Nipple/131 and further south based upon conditions. The latest Hilton's report shows the area s and sw of the nipple as very promising. Let's stay in touch!! Good Luck.

How did ya'll do.

We started at the nipple and worked down through the elbow. Caught 2 20lb wahoo lost a big wahoo est 60+ and saw a white while casting poppers at a weed line. The water was good but that scattered grass gave us fits all day.

Yeah, I gottcha you. We hit the Nipple, 131, and went about 15 miles SE. Lots of scattered grass.A few weedlines trying to form up but nothing great. Found a small weedline with blue/green water on the offshore side and fished this hard. We had a billfish in the baits, 5 dolphin(largest about 20 lbs.), and a few other strikes. Islanders/ballyhoo and naked ballyhoo seemed to be the preferred bait. Slow, but overall, a good trip. And, the weather did not get us!!:bowdown
