Offshore Fishing

plthijinx · 05-09-2004, 04:04 PM

we went offshore friday on a 12 hour trip. here's the fishing report from the houston chronicle:

Fishing report
SALTWATER -- On Friday, the party boat Texsun II put 45 anglers on 123 red snapper, with the top 12 between 12 and 17 pounds. Scattered other fish, including a 35-pound ling and a small Warsaw grouper, were decked. The boat fished in 110-foot water.

i manage to go at least twice a year. as always, it's a blast!

we used squid and/or spanish sardines for bait....

Mmmm,...red snapper.

Not fond of the sushi in the first picture though.
Nice pics, man.

thanks! i'm hopefully going again next month. i'm going to see if i can go at least once a month this summer....this outing for me sucked. i only brought home 2 keepers but nothing worth taking a shot of. i'll usually have 1 bad trip in 5. it's kinda weird if you think about it. everyone around you is hauling up legal fish and yet all you bring up are ones that are an 1/8th of an inch too short. oh well. luck of the draw i guess....

xoxoxoBruce · 05-10-2004, 06:16 AM

Use bigger bait so they're legal when you get 'em in the boat.
