Saturday - Pecan Island
 

Seas projected 1' Saturday - who's making a snapper run? We will be bringing another boat full of rookies out!

I have been watching forecast also.
Looks like it is going to be more calm than last weekend.

Im heading east again thoigh to GI.

I know some rigs out there that hold fish. I dont know any rigs out of cameron.
Would hate to run that far offshore and not be able to get on some fish.

This week we will be geting a hotel rrom in galieano rather than leaving lafayette at 2:30.
That was too long of a day.

Going to tey to focus on catching some lemon fish and mayne grouper this time.

Any tips on tarheting different species like this? Snapper limit gets filled wayyyy too fast.

If I can give you any advice it would be this......ling usually hold at the bottom and show themselves. Rig a rod to jig the deeper depths, but also have a rod rigged to swim a bait on the surface when they get curious and do a swim by. Ling are an opportunity catch so be prepared for that chance!!!!

Try to get a room at Boudreax's in Leeville. You can put the boat in the water and be ready to go in the morning. It's a quick run to Fourchon and out the pass. No crossing the bridge necessary and just a little farther than Galliano to drive.

Fin, yall go in your buddies offshore boat or ya 2400??

Thanks for inviting Bryant!!! He is fired up, he has only been snapper fishing once.

Might try Sat afternoon or on Sunday

We will be in my boat! - Last trip was 37 gallons total for a whole day of fishing. You don't wnat to see the fuel consumption on 3- 300hp Yammys!!!! WE have to plan those trips carefully! LOL - Think I'm going to make him a sign that says "this boat doesn't run on THANKS".

Glad he can make it - It should be a good day. Got Wendy and Sis-n-law and Connor, Hayden, and Bryant.

Weekend fishing
 

Will be fishing out of fresh water, Friday & Saturday. Larger snapper have been west, but decent fish can be found south 30+ miles. Will be in a Cape Horn with blue trim. Good luck

I will be in my 24' bay boat - monitor channel 16,68,& 69 on VHF. "Tighthole" - call if you need. I will be around 50 miles out.

Saturday
 

Will do, same here. Hollywood 2 is the call name.

Looking for someone to (1-2 peeps) to share expenses for trip 2 morrow Friday..


I fished yesterday... Limits of 10-12# snaps out of rollover.. They WERE calling 1-2's yesterday. Wrong.. 2-4's and 3-5' all morning . Eased out @ 18kts.

About 12 noon they eased 1-2's with a 3' ground swell.. Did catch some dink dolphins..

All fish were 10-13#.. We broke off some way bigger fish..(10 Fish)

Had one fish.. Brake a #7 demon circle hook, a live mullet.. Fish are holding about 20 ' off bottom..

If interested call or text Gunner.. 337-781-9581 .. We'll meet in Abbeville.

I'm going on my recertification check out dives Saturday so I can't fish..
Did not see any ling..

Just reminder ALL peeps on the vessel need to have free WLF snaps permit. and Trigger is NOT OPEN???

Man if you were making an afternoon run I'd be in but I have to sort cows in the morning

I will be chasing Cobia with a fly rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 foot seas, ya right! Made it 20 miles and had a motor with electrical problem, hope ya get um, we out the hunt for the weekend. Back at the camp drinking beer.At least the boats clean, got the code figured out-to the shop we go

Man that sucks! I'd rather be working on the boat than sitting at the desk I'll be at all weekend.

Man that sucks!!! But at least you have a chance to salvage the weekend - good luck on the repairs. Just checked with some of my guys offshore. As forecasted, the winds are switching and seas are laying down over last hour. Supposed to be good tomorrow!

Had solid 3-4's with some good ones between. We fished last thurs and fri and it was ruff, today while idle'n almost took a couple over the nose good luck! May try to run out in the bay boat tommorrow, likely out the Mermentau.

Verm 151 had 2-3's after lunch and wind was laying down. It better or my boat will be going back on trailer in the morning - not worth it!

bring it on wind........i wanna fish Bad Bad

Who's going out if freshwater on Saturday? Tossing around a late morning trip and just goin out for a few hours instead of an all day affair. My six year old is chomping at the bit to go out on his first rig hopping trip.

Looking good for the weekend, too bad I'm on call... Hopefully next weekend will be the same.

I fished Friday with Tute Dur.. We went out of Rollover.. Stopped @ the weirs.. Couldn't get a lot of live or fresh bait..

Cleared rollover.. Seas predicted 1'.. WRONG.. 2-4' and 4' out of the west, mostly ALL DAY GOING AND COMING IN..

Got to where we had caught dome really nice snaps doing week.. Of course with a west wind the nw corner of the platform that I had skull dugged them .. Was out of the question.

Well hooked up down current.. Started marking some nice fish.. First drop. no bait coming up..

ON third drop, big hit.. Set the hook and wham off to south of the platform. I'm thinking big ling..

Well after 5 minutes, Layne sinks the gaff into a 38-40# king..

Well back to business. After about 5 more drops.. Tap, Tap, Tap. Set hook up coming a nice 10# snap..

We get 2 nice snaps in boat.. then they stop... Tried up current on all sides of rig..

We moved but only caught some small snaps.. Several being legal .. But thinking we are going to catch some larger ones, we toss then back..

Well we decide to head further south.. I point the FinChaser South.. We fished in 95-100' of water .. Verm 161, 163, 164.. Nothing.. But triggers and not even any small snaps..

Ran over 115 miles RT.. For 2 nice snaps and one king..

Water was just a dark green all day.. Of course with the west wind howling rollover was a nice site @ 5 pm...

I stayed More wet Friday then I did Sat. Diving..

That is why they call it fishing and not catching I guess..

Taking a brake for a few days to heal up after Friday and Sat., making 3 recertification check out dives.. I'm a little worn out..



PS. Layne went with a friend out of Rockefeller Sat.. And smashed them.. He texted that that ran 68 miles into blue water..
