Default First Trip Offshore!
Left out of Cocodrie Thursday afternoon to find what I was told was calm seas. Ran out about 70 miles and found a rip, I was able to land some chicken dolphin and bar jacks on my fly rod! We kept a few nice chicken dolphin and then headed out another 30 miles to our destination. Hooked up with a yellow fin within minutes and I landed my first tuna. Stayed the night at that floater and fished for a while yesterday morning landing bunches of black fin and one more yellowfin. Started heading back in and got on a snapper bite that was phenomenal with five fish going over 20 pounds. All and all a great trip with great people. Pretty intense having never been offshore to go for an overnighter but well worth the temporary nausea and the 10 hours it took me to stop thinking I was rocking back and forth on land.

It's karma Lucas! I only hope they enjoyed taking you as much as you enjoy taking others to your waters.

Looks like yall had a really good trip. What do you think about them chicken dolphin on a fly rod? I bet that was one of the highlites of your 1st trip out.

The fly fishing was definitely exciting. It was nice to see that my flies made the transition to blue water! It was nice seeing someone else get as excited as I do when I watch people catch fish for the first time.

My fly rod is not near big enough for tuna. I would have gotten to see my fly line head into the deep blue yonder.
