bh89-2 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Well, despite being out of season, we missed the state record gag yesterday by a few pounds. Only ran 20 miles due to the terrible weather that was approaching the coast. Only made a couple offshore drops, but did get some nice bull reds in state waters. LOTS of rescues going on out there yesterday. We ven ended up allowing 2 small boats to fall in behind our wake and follow us close to shore. All together in 2 hours, some out of season and released:54 lb Gag Grouper2 Snapper1 kingfish7 tagged bull reds (all the tags we had)several pesky sharks1 trigger fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh89-2 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Trying to upload but Image shack has screwed their web site all up. I got a 62lb gag and 4 other groupe this weekend. One really big Yellow Edge grouper, which was first one for me. Just don't see them very often, especially 40 lb yellow edge. Few big scamp as well. Limits of 12-20lb snapper every trip. Few ling. One 80-90 lb yellowfin, tons of blackfin. I really suck at pictures because running the boat just does not lend itself to picture taking. Working on pics.

westend1 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 What is the cost to go on a trip and how many do you take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh89-2 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry guys been traveling. The trips cost depend on how far we run and what we fish for. We typically do bottom fishing trips, but I also do tuna and swordfish trips, but that's over-night trips. We split the cost on trips between fishermen and it normally runs between $150 and $250 depending on how many people and how far we run. It's all fuel dependent. The bottom fishing is almost always 60-90 miles out. That's just the range I like to fish, it helps to weed the smaller boats out and keeps us in blue water. email me if you want to go. We plan on running a trip this coming Sunday. [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh89-2 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sounds good Bullet. As far as scheduling out, its easy to grab a spot. If someone has 4 or 5 folks to go, then they can just get the whole boat. If it's just one or two, I'll touch base with them and we will fit them in when their schedule allows. It's all very informal for the most part. I try to get 5 or so and we go fishing. If we have an inexperienced group or have 5-6 people, I try to get a deck hand to help. The deck hand is a good thing for everyone, and all I ask is you tip him if you are satisfied. I provide all the tackle, lunch, water, bait, ice. Just bring a hat, cool clothing, and sun screen. Don't forget a small ice chest for fish, but keep it in the car. We will clean fish at dock or have someone do it for $20-$30 bucks. Fish get's bagged in gallon freezer bags and split evenly between fishermen/fisherwomen.It's a good time. Liltex has been a several times, he can give you the scoop too.

NDNation Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 We took a 4-5 hour trip out last year, we were crammed in like sardines no elbow room at all, but they did everything for us short of reeling in the catch. We were thinking of something the second weekend in August, but didnt want to book the same trip. Want to try going farther out now that I'm [i]almost[/i] sure I won't spend the day turning green and heaving over the side of the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tackle and crown can be discouraging. Jump on with us, we just get a few guys together and go make a meat haul. I have all high quality tackle and we fish with whatever baits we need to catch fish. Soon as snapper is over (end of month) we will be hitting Tuna and possibly sword fish, as well as grouper, ling, wahoo, and amberjack. Jan/Feb we do flower gardens for wahoo.
