Offshore Freeport 8-15-10

[bh89-2]

Loaded boat with 3 dozen piggies, bait, ice, few cold beers, and an lot of tackle.  Headed to intersection area and flower gardens.  Lot of shrimp boats in 200 feet of water, so made a number of stops to see who was home.  Almost every boat had 10 or more ling on them, so we boated 6 limits real quick.  Everyone was sweating and tired after about 30 minutes.  Picked up a couple blackfin, and a few other species we did not care to keep.  A number of huge sharks on most all the boats as well.  Hit a grass line and tossed in 20-25 mahi, then bounced over to Stetson rocks and picked up 4 strawberry grouper and one 60lb Warsaw.  Got 4 or 5 kings throughout the day on drift lines.  Picked up a few real nice beeliners and 1 amberjack and called it the day.  Hit a "State Water Spot" on way in and grabbed 9 red snapper for grins.

Round trip was 198 miles and burned about 100 gallons of Obama Gold. 

Federal Snapper season may reopen in October.

Anytime someone wants to wet a hook, weather permitting, I am in.  If you will PM me your email address and a number to text with, I send out notices all the time when we have a trip planned.  I normally take the forst 4 or 5 to confirm they can go on the date time selected.  If you have 4 or 5 people then I will make it your trip.

I'll post a message on here for a couple 2cooler fishing trips.  We have a good time and every now and again catch a fish or two.  ;)
