6-8 Grande Isle Snapper Run
Put the 19' Mako boat in the water at Bridgeside at 6:30 and headed South East. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with 1' - 2' rollers. NOAA was right on the money. After 1 hour and 22 minutes of running at 22 mph (~30 miles) we stopped at the first spot. First drop brougt up with a cubara and second drop brought up a 13 lb lemon fish. This spot produced several hardtails (which ended up being cut bait), 3 Red snapper, 1 cubara, 1 vermillion, and 1 lemon fish. Fun catching a variety of fish. However, we had hopes for some larger snapper in the fishbox. Headed further Southeast at 10:30. Traveled another 7 miles to next set of rigs to see that they were full of boats. Next set was another 5-6 miles so we headed that way. Was unable to tie up to rig so we made a few drifts which resulted in 1 red snapper. Headed back north around noon and stopped at rigs that were full on the way out. Got on some red snapper with a lot better size to them. Finished off our limit by 12:30 with the last one weighing in at 12.8 lbs. Realized the clouds were starting to get dark so headed north. Had to outrun a couple of nasty looking storms to get to the truck without getting wet. First time to catch and clean a lemon fish. Was very surprised with how firm and white the meat is. It is very similar to Wahoo meat. Have a couple of filets of red snapper on the half shell on the pit now. REady to eat and get some rest. |

We were literally right in front of a pretty big storm wide open trying to beat it to the marina. If there were any boats on the beach they had probably already taken it to the house. |
