Saltwater Oilman's Championship Event

Congrats again "W" and good seeing you out there. My trip was far from fun as I pointed the OutFoxed south from the Cameron jetties, w/ 5 footers in the jetties. Once I cleared the rocks, it went to 6-8' and was very dicey. After the boat went airborne twice with the props coming out the water, the wife of the boat owner was not happy and we had to turn around.

The boat could have handled it, but the crew was not having any of it!

Not sure what side you were on, but offshore was bad Friday & Saturday. Had a friend of mine trailer his boat to Grand Isle for the Fishing for Memories tournament which is held in Intracoastal City. He read that it would be calmer there thent the west side. He fought big seas all weekend long, but just heard he got best offshore boat and has several fish on the board.

He broke several components on his boat due to rough conditions.

I fished Breton sound sat ran 40+ miles from BSM zero winds! Flat seas , a 14 ft flat boat could have made the run .
