A rough start today, but we managed to get it done! Today I joined Mr. Converse and his Brother-in-law Mr. Phillip for a quick 4 hour “For Hire” trip. We left Shoreline park around 0700 to heavy thunderstorms and winds South of the Pass.
We decided to waste a little time and make a few drifts in the Pass while we waited for the weather to move on West of us. We quickly hooked into a really nice Redfish which Mr. Phillip boated after a short fight. After only a short time the weather seemed to clear and we began our trip to the Snapper Rocks. I have been fishing to the South the last few weeks but with the weather I decided to call an audible and run down to the East.
After a fairly bumpy ride we got set up and began fishing. Seemed the current was really running and made it hard to fish the bottom so we began to chunk to try and bring the Snapper to the top. It seemed like only seconds had passed and the Snapper were under the boat. We were able to cherry pick three of the nicer ones out in only three baits!!! While Mr. Converse and I were free lining the Snaps of the stern Mr. Phillip was soaking a butterflied Menhaden on the bottom. He managed to hook and land a really nice 12lb Snapper and that did it! We had our limit an off to the launch we headed.
Another great trip in the Gulf with great people! Thank you Mr. George for your continued business and I look forward to our next trip together!!
…………….. See you out there
