Good bait today, went a long ways out. Put 101 miles on the boat. Nice snapper, don't think it was worth the ride. 1-2' seas, but the wave spacing made it rough.

Trolling motor has been on the fritz for over a week, waiting for parts. Makes it hard to hold up in a cabin type boat. I dropped a line twice, caught my two snapper.

Was the bait greenies, herring or cigs that you found?

That's some studs there. Nice fish, too.

Kinda expensive meat.

Of course, it's the experience that counts. 30 years ago, I had to catch 300# of Grouper per day to make it worth my effort. In the winter I seldom went over 20 miles from the dock but summertime it was often 80 miles. That was not sport fishing. I preferred to fish by myself or take somebody who just wanted to fish and take a fish or two home. Druther take my kid anytime back then. Of course, he is in Afghanistan right now.
