Finally got a friendly forecast and made it out yesterday, it was a little choppy getting out there but by the time I got to the rubble reefs things started to settle down. Drifting around I got a few bites but couldn't hook anything to save my life. Then once I started hooking up I realized cold hands don't really tie knots too well:banghead . Anyways one 13" trigger later I decided to try my luck somewhere else and hit up Tex Edwards. Found a nice red snapper bite there and caught and released some nice eating size fish, then found a couplebarely undersized triggers that provided some entertainment. About this time the sun came out and the seas died way down and it was gorgeous, about that time I started marking aj's and the first butterfly jig drop yielded2 undersized fish which promptly broke me offwhen they made a run for the prop. Caught about a dozen more, lost some more jigs before I had to get going to a buddy's superbowl party.
Final tally ~15 snapper,3 triggers, ~12 aj's, nothing in season or of legal size but they're still fun to catch. I probably could have doubled those numbers easily ifI would've tied some decent knots or set the hook butthat's why they call it fishing and not catching. Still a great day to be on the water!
