Eventful Trip
Headed to Freshwater Bayou Sat, stopped at Gulf Way for bait, ice, etc. I was in my Tahoe folloeing my buddies with a 25 cat in tow. I reach them about 1 mile past the small draw bridge....they had hit the bridge too fast and shreaded the rear axel of the trailer :-(....after bathing in off and ripping off teh back left tire we linped 2 more miles to the launch. we finally got in the water about 6:30, caught some live bait and headed offshore. Weather called for 1-2...it was 3-4+ snapped a gunnel rail, lost the horn, speaker, and to top it all off the starbord bilge went out.....manual bilge all day......we ended up going about 60miles out and salvaged the day with a limit of reds snapper, some big groves, a couple of Chicken Dolphin, and a 50lb Cobia......got back to the dock about 5pm two of our crew went back into town to air up the three remaining tires on the boat while three of us stayed back and cleaned the boat and teh fish....then once the boat was on the trailer I put the icing on the cake by locking my keys in my truck....but with a lil cajun inginuity we managed to unlock it with a large knice and a stick!!!
ended up back at my house for 11:30pm....slept all day Sunday
