first trip in the new boat to Empire
 

Well, the day finally arrived me and my cousin went out for a day out at Empire. Before today I have never been fishing in the marsh i have only worked in it. My cousin has made limited trips but knew some of the areas to look for that may hold fish. In my opinion the trip was a success. I caught a 27 or 28" red within about three casts after we stopped at the first area. Things slowed down a little but we managed to come home with 3 keeper reds, 2 specks, and a flounder. We lost two reds at the boat and I lost a flounder at the boat. We also caught 5 rat reds.:cool:

Good report. Fry them up...

Glad you caught some fish to break the new boat in right,congrats.

i tried to upload some pics as we type and I did grill two fillets for supper.

did you use my recipe?

thanks for the invite

i did use a similar recipe and i did invite you. you acted like you were interested. ok so i kinda invited you but it didn't seem like you were interested:confused:

nice catch bro

thats a nice sized flounder.

lost one bigger than that one right at the boat

nice !!!!!!!! if you are anything like me you probally were planning the next trip as soon as you hooked up to the first red !!!!!...now the addiction begins my friend , i glad yalls trip was a sucess

i tell you what fishinpox, i have been a bass fisherman my whole life and thought there was nothing that could replace that passion. The first fish hit and thought i don't even care about freshwater fishing anymore. I now see why all the people on this website seemed to be obsessed with saltwater fishing.

thats what im screamin!!!!!!!! i dont mind bass fishin but in my mind it no where compares to fishin the salt.

i tried a topwater bait this morning and on the first cast i said your signature outload. catching fish on topwater is an aphrodisiac

hell yeah bro. every time i get a blow up on top i "pitch a tent"!!!!!!!!!!

good catch man. thats the way to break in a boat and break you from freshwater fishing. 3or4 of them trips when your buddies call you to go bass fishing I know what the answer will be , maybe next time:*****:

:eek:

"every time i get a blow up on top i "pitch a tent"!!!!!!!!!!"

Now that's a good one right there!

nice catch..way to christen the new boat!

That's why I stay in the back of the boat:help: Don't ever ask me to run the trolling motor again:shaking:

Nice catch. Now it's time to show off your new obsession in your avatar.
