Made a 2 day trip yesterday and today out in the gulf. Started the morning yesterday hanging around the coast till the big thunderstorm passed,then headed offshore. Finally got into some nice fish on plastics around a rig,and was keeping up with the guides from cocodrie using minnows,until their minnows finally overpowered our plastics. Left early this morning to get back to the spot we caught at yesterday,but found it not like we left it. The water was a little more stained,and a ripping current. Tides werent at all as predicted,but we gave it our best shot. Then, my son catches a hardhead,and uses the flipper to flip it off. I hear him holler,and look back and the hardhead is stuck in the top of his foot about 3/4 of the way in. We ended up having to yank it,and then dressed it with peroxide and antibiotic creme,and gave him some asprin. He moaned and groaned for a while,layed down for about 30 minutes,then was back up at em again. Thankful it didnt break off in his foot. Little while later, a hynie full of S/C dudes pull up. Looked like Calcutta and crew. Wanted to troll over say hello,but was afraid one of the hundred boats would steal my spot.lol They were slinging the trout pretty good,even after the boat with the hot pink distraction about anchored on top of em. (I think we need to make a special hand signal,gang symbol,S/C flag or something that would let other guys know that we are a Salty Cajun Member!!) Although the bite was slower than yesterday, we still managed a nice mess of fish today. Another good time making some fun and painful memories with my son.

Awesome catch man!!!

Great times on the water. Thanks for the post and pics.

A trick to remember on the hard head issue, if you get stung by one, rub the same hard head on the spot that was stung and the pain will go away quickly.

nice fish dude

Nice....plan on hitting it on TUES. Did you fish the pickets or mardi gras...

Nice. Can't wait till they get back into calmer waters.

nice catch!

Nice fish!!!

Nice trouts dood

nice catch bro! was the boat with the hot pink distraction a sea foam green blazer bay? did you fish around last island at all? just wondering what the water looked like around there.

Paul, I normally do that when its just a little stick. Its amazing how that works. This one was so deep, that I wanted to make sure it didnt get infected,so we went the peroxide and anti-biotic route. He seems to be fine today.

Thanks fellas..


Outcast, we didnt go to the island at all thursday or friday. Thursday,was the morning that huge thunderstorm was out there,and it was hanging right over the island,and slowly moving northwest. We headed southwest and fished the rigs. I had heard that the water was nice that way and farther east,but it was nice at the rigs as well. As far as the pink distraction, it wasnt in the blazer bay, must have been another one. This one was on a big offshore boat,with 2 big yammies,couldnt quite read the name of the boat. She was definately putting on a show though.

all star, pm sent..

Glad to hear he is doing good. Yes, it is amazing.

Thanks for the fishing trip!:):) Here is one of the pics from the trip that I took. The videos came out neat, even though we were never able to get a fish catch on it.

Good trip
 

I'm especially impressed by the well-built, handsome dude on the right with the good-lookin' boy!:D Good times on the Du', and want to thank Captain Bill Lake for the first-class accomodations. When you get a hankering to blow a lot of money on gas, sweat like a hog, and suffer from a lack of sleep, just go fishing offshore for a couple of days!:rotfl:

Yeah speck-chaser we caught them pretty good even with the hot pink distraction! We met up with her again the next day at the monkey bars! Very nice distraction!!!

So you were one of the guys in the hynie I suppose? I recognized several of yall from the profile pics,just never met yall in person before,so I couldnt remember what name went to what face.lol

Yes sir me & Calcutta both own the Haynie. U should have trolled over and said what's up then u could have seen a better view of pinky! Lol

someone post a pic of this " hot pink distraction".... let us SC guys judge for ourselves !!!

Well, I would have but the way everyone was crowding us earlier,I was afraid they would move into our spot if we trolled over; and we were enjoying the shady spot.lol Who else you had in that boat witcha besides calcutta? Was that a big red that broke off Indiana Jones?

Sorry Jordan, didnt have my camera with me,and my zoom on my iphone wouldnt quite go that far to do justice.

***** indiana jones yea that dude was fighting a red he was from austin TX. We didnt get a pic of her either but she sure was a great sight to look at..

Please.........................don't forget the pictures next time.

Sorry Gerald she was alittle to far for my Iphone. Speck-chaser that red whooped that texas aggies butt! Around & around under the anchor rope he went!
Nice catch by the way Speck-chaser Did yall catch them on live or arties?

all caught on artificial. We brought minnows with us on friday,cuz the guides were wearing them out on minnows on thursday at that rig. All we caught on the minnows on friday was sea cats. Usually always waste my money on live bait.
