A little on the rough side
« on: November 23, 2014, 02:55:37 PM »
 slt  A little on the rough side
Unfortunately I was not on the 39 hour trip this last weekend. All indications were that it could possibly be a little on the rough side. These are the conditions under which a 72' long, 25' wide catamaran thrives. Regardless of whatever Mother-nature may decide to throw at us; we still have a great, safe, platform from which to fish. Here is what was encountered:
 On way out:              5-7 foot waves
 While fishing:            4-6 foot waves
 Big storm on way in : 8-9 foot waves

This is from the Florida's  last trip. Impressive? Absolutely!

Hopefully this trip will also produce a very impressive catch.
Sharing with fellow anglers is what good sportsmanship is all about. Thanks to MR. Dylan Hubbard we have a full report to share.
The mangrove snapper were running really nice, and plentiful.         
  Mr Tony Baker caught 15 huge mangos, Mr. Larry Miller, Mr. Richard Sipple, and Mr. John Martin all limited out. And we are talking a two day limit of 20.


Lots of 60 pound jacks were released. See you in January, partner:

How about a 38 pound king. We have been catching monster kings on every trip:

Total catch for the 11/21/14 trip:
  200 mangrove snapper...biggest a whopping 9 pounds
  200 Beeliner snapper
  006 gag grouper...biggest 14 pounds
  001 king fish...38 pounds
  015 lane snapper
Many porgies were also caught. A few were absolute monsters; we are talking gaffing size.
Hopefully this trip will also produce a very impressive catch.
Did it?
Well! that mountain of fish and big smiles says it all:

Our next trip will be 12/5. The full moon for December is on the sixth at 7:27 A.M. That means we will be fishing the very day of the full moon. The last time we fished this time of the month we tore the mangrove snapper apart. I can't wait!

 slt   Thanks guys. Sorry I was not there to give a first hand report. It was just too rough for this old man. Hope to go again 12/5. Come 12/8 it's hog hunting again. Will share my adventures. Join me sometime.
