| A few pics of my first offshore trip. Again thanks for the info on getting a bit farther offshore. I enjoyed the day! A brief synopsis of the day...Left Sherman Cove around 9 (got a late start wanted to get out around 7) headed to the bait boat and picked up some live bait. Headed south out of the pass was going to go to the 131 hole, sea state was excellent going out. 12 mile from the 131 Hole, spotted a little surface action so decided to troll. First hit, my line started screaming couldn't get to the pole in time  . trolled for a bit longer and we hooked up again, this time pulled in a King.  
Trolled for about another 2 hours, then decided to head in closer. As we headed in saw some more bait fish on the surface so put lines out again, and got an almost instant strike. and we pulled in a Bonita. 
 I released the bonita after a couple pics. Weather started looking bad so we proceeded back in. The pass was a hell of a lot rougher going in that afternoon than getting out that morning. Got everything loaded just before the skies opened up.
Again thanks for all your info. I hope to learn more and get out more often.....Looking for Snapper tips and spots... Thanks! GatorDoc

| Went out with a few friends who have been there. First time in my boat had a great time. Looking for something a bit closer though.

My suggestion to you is keep that Bobo next time...It makes great bait...there's no telling what will tag a big ole piece of bloody meat dropped to the bottom  Sounds like a great day for the first trip in your boat though...Nice King too. Continued good luck man...Also another hint the Chevron is loaded up with big snappers...

| when snapper fishing, we have found that chumming (oatmeal, frozen chum block,sand, and water)seems to get the larger snapper off the bottom and up into the water column. good luck!
