Offshore report

masher · 06-27-2009, 08:40 PM

We had a 4 day South Pass trip planned but the blue water reports were sketchy at best over there. Looking at the weather and Roff's we decided to go south. Left out of Pensacola pass Wed. afternoon and headed 120 miles to the south-southeast. We found blue water and put lines in early Thursday. Found a 70 foot pine tree floating and preceded to catch 14 dolphin to 35 #'s, 12 tripletail, 5 wahoo and a blackfin. The tree ended up in dirty water so we went south again and caught another dolphin. We swordfished that night with no luck. Fished Friday with two white bites and no hook ups. Water got crappy, ran back to spur and started swordfishing at 3 a.m. Justin caught a 100# and that was it. Started trolling home this morning at daylight and Judd caught a 50# wahoo. We hit a run over on the way back in for 12 snapper and came home. Lot's of action, no marlin. Water very crappy out to 120 miles. Almost forgot, I caught a 4" sailfish behind the boat in the bait net. He was swimming in the underwater lights. Had a full sail with spots and all. We let him go and he swam off to a piece of grass, pretty cool looking.

Nice trip. Man, lots of miles. Lets hope that south wind brings a little blue water north.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like the trip was a success minus a bill. Hopefully, blue will be a little closer by next weekend. :usaflag

I live next door to the "Commotion" and I can tell you they had a boat full. I always watch the boat come in when I see it. They started bringing fish out of the boats refrigerated fish boxand theykept coming and coming. They were a tired looking crew but cleaned all the fish and boat before dark. Great job guys.
