Sorry for the lack of reports from us lately, we have been swamped! I fished with Dr. Brian, his seven year old twin sons, and their grandpa yesterday Saturday 6/11. We left the dock at 6:30 a.m., stopped by and got some live cigar minnows from the bait boat, and were on our spot by 7:15. It didn’t take long and we had our four person limit of red snapper, also caught a king, some gags, and a shark on the snapper spot in 90 feet of water. Left their and ran to the buoys for some king action, caught a couple pretty quick slow trolling with live cigars and made our way back to the dock in time for lunch.
Today Sunday 6/12 I fished with a good customer from the store Rob, his wife, and their friends from Atlanta. We headed out at 6:30, swung by the bait boat and got a live well from of cigar minnows from Tony, and went after the red snapper. We fished a few different spots in 85-95 feet of water 9-12 miles east of Pensacola Pass and had no trouble catching our limit of red snapper. Also, got into some nice black snapper that we chummed up using chunked menhaden, caught them free lining on 20 pound braid. On our way in we made a few drifts through the pass and the tide was perfect, but we didn’t get a bite.
