Stallion (6/18/2009)
You have your beliefs and I have mine. My reasoning has resulted in successful trips much more than it has not. It is all a crap shoot as you know. However, your response regarding what people reported last weekend is simply foolish though. You know that things can change overnight in the Gulf. What someone did last weekend or even a few days has no bearing on what a later trip will do. For all I know, those reports could be from inexperieced anglers that have no clue what they are doing nor any business being 60 miles offshore fishing on a 20 foot single screw boat pulling zebcos with McDonald's straws as lures. Consider the source when you put all your faith in a report. (Remember the world was flat until Columbus proved them wrong!). Besides what reports are you talking about? 4 PRPFESSIONAL crews that fished MBGFC ladies day last weekend called me with first hand reports of good action just south of the spur, at the squiggles and northeast of the double nipple. One boat had 5 shots at blue marlin over 2 days of fishing. My crew tagged 2 blues, 6 whites, 1 sailfish among uncountable loads of meatfish last year on 6 offshore trips. What did you do? I have the proof to back up my comments, do you?????  I can with 95% certaintly guarantee you that if you were to troll the Nipple/Elbow this weekend for 8 hours, you will have atleast one shot at a pelagic. Now go fix yourself a Latte and prepare for yardwork on Saturday. That swedish cheba you are smoking must be some good stuff. Congrats on your banner year last year, you get the blue water cowboy of the year award. You must have been the only boat that caught billfish last year.  your the best, your the master, all knowing, all powerful. Come on guy...................who are you fooling? If all this water is where you say it is, and all these fish are there, why then is everyone talking about running to the rip off of south pass??? Ya know, those Professional crews?

| here is a first hand report from sunday!! there was no life no signs of life or not the first smidgen of weeds or fliers until we got southeast of the squiggles. even there it was blue green but a little cleaner. if this was a 2 day tourney it would be very fishable south of there !!for 1 day tourney it would be tough we went west to the spur we went north we went everywhere. there was actually better water and more signs of life 3 miles south of pcola pass. Hiltons was dead on!! all this being said we are fishing this weekend in Jr. angler tourney but probably work the rocks and get the kids a wahoo, king bobo etc. good luck to all fishing this weekend!! at least it will be calm seas hopefully!!

Man Stallion you guys are on fire. I wish you guys good luck this weekend. And not only that, you know where all the billfish are as well, so it sounds like you are on your way to a big check come Sunday! Please be sure to post a report so we can load the boat and go catch them next week. Hey Wes we better get the boat ready instead of cutting grass this weekend, so when the Italian Stallion gets back we can head south!! 
Good luck to all of you guys, hope y'all have good weather and great fishing!

| I give up caspr. We had a lucky year last year, I am not all knowing and will probably strike out this year, who knows. The point of my post was that the way we analyze the conditions worked well last year. Depending solely on Hilton's is foolish. Please quit being so pessimistic and sarcastic to those of us who are excited about fishing this weekend. If you don't have anything nice to say, please don't say it at all. I hear you caught your first blue last year. Congrats! Hope to see you at the docks sometime soon, and I will give a report to everyone on Monday - win, lose or draw. You are all probably right, the fishing will be slow.

stallion, what is your connection to this tournament other than as a fisherman? You've been promoting this tournament pretty hard, plus attacking people who say they aren't going to fish it because of the water quality. So whats your connection? MBGFC committee member? tournament director? in charge of marketing? work at the marina thats holding the tournament?
thanks in advance for enlightening us

and I am glad yall had a good year last year. You are one of the few boats that did. Last year was the worse I have seen the fishing in 15+ years. And no, I didnt catch my FIRST blue last year. We only tagged one blue and marlana caught it. She is mostly our angler. I have been on the end of the rod and reel many many times, and enjoy watching people catch fish more than reeling them in. I am not trying to be pessimistic about yall fishing this weekend, just trying to be a little realistic. You have been promoting this thing hard, and when the economy is tough, people wanna go enjoy fishing, not enjoy tooling around in pea green water, having king mackerals hit your ballyhoos! I hope you catch the crap out of them this weekend, and post a report. Good luck and AGAIN hope you find the blue water. It can change over night, even quicker than the pay sites can predict.

| Not trying to stir the pot, more of a question. I am fairly new to offshore fishing, but have been fishing my whole life. In my couple of years of offshore fishing I have noticed that blue water is definitely the more productive water to fish, but when you are in green, blue/green water, how deep does that water actually go? How far down is the blue water? When bass fishing there are times in the year that you have to go deep for the big boys. So as Stallion has stated, if you are fishing over bottom structure, would it not be productive to slow troll live baits over structure and watch the sounder for deep bait schools and be ready to drop a livie down deep? As a bass fisherman, people who just fish along the bank are known as bank beaters, that is all they know. To catch the big fish year long you have to adapt fishing styles. So would this logic not apply to offshore fishing? When conditions are not favorable for your regular style of fishing you might have to adapt and try different methods. I might be an idiot, but you never know unless you try. Stallion we will see you at the Tournament, 35' Marlago (Betty-B).

Just got the call, Betty-B is out. Guess I will have to stay up here and fish Kentucky Lake with my McCafe' Latte, Rachel Ray magazine, Barbie fishing pole, and can of worms. Good luck to those of you fishing, wish I could be there. To those of you on the fence about fishing, look at it this way, it is an even playing field and someone has to win the thing.

| I'm looking forward to the fishing reports from the tournament this weekend. I tend to think also that the fishing is going to be poor. Good luck to all that go out.

Gotta go with Wes on this one. best I can tell your going to have to run 90 miles easy to get good water. Not saying mahi, hoo, or a billfish cant be caught in green water, just much lower odds. I think a couple of you guys were trying to make yourself feel better by poking at those who are passing this weekend up. Best of luck to those fishing all the tournaments this weekend. Hope you catchem up and heres to hoping blue water creeps closer 2 weekends from now. Can't wait for the reports. By the way, its fathers day weekend and there won't be no working in the yard or honey do's around here. Time to drive a titleist
