My dad and I will be making a snapper run Saturday.
Driving in Saturday morning. Plan to be at Bridgeside Marina around 6:30a.m.

It sure would make me feel a lot better about being 20-30 miles offshore with 1 motor if I could stay in VHF contact with some of you guys that are going to be out there.

If anyone that will be offshore with a VHF wouldnt mind making radio contact with me early saturday let me know.

Thanks

[Dink]

[Dink]

Don't Jinx it man!!

Seas still looking reeeel good!
I'm going to make a bait run to GulfWay in Kaplan at lunch.

You guys recommend Pogey for snapper bait over mullet, spanish sardines, squid etc..?

Hey guys..... be careful. http://www.thehulltruth.com/gulf-coa...sing-boat.html

Stuff happens real fast out there. I was caught several years ago in a big cat. Weather was flat calm and called for 1' or less seas with a 30% chance of thunderstorms. Had a huge storm roll in on us and we could not out run them. We saw 3 water spouts before the storm reached us. Went from flat calm to 8'+ with huge chop in a matter of minutes. Port motor ended up getting swamped and the cap of the boat was separated when a 10’+ hit us from the side. This we filled up one of the pontoons. Had the starboard motor hammered just to keep the bow pointed into the waves. All 5 guys had life vest on and we were tethered together. First time I ever made a mayday call and hope I never have to again. We activated the EPS on the radio, had eperb, and dry box with flares and emergency signaling devices in hand ready for the boat to go over. The storm only lasted 45 minutes but I did not think we were going to make it back. This gave me a new respect of going offshore.
