Dauphin Island Tuesday 5/6/08
Well where to start. I was supposed to go on an overnighter with my fishing partner Jason, with a couple of his buddies in OB on one of their boats. Only problem is I had to work until 11 pm and they were planning on leaving between 11-12 so it wouldn't be too bad, they were to shoot across the ditch and pick me up at DI and we would run to Ram Powell. Well Jason calls me about 7 o'clock and his buddies want to leave NOW and I can't get to DI until about midnight. Well shit, I had already cleared my schedule for Tuesday and I was looking forward to this, but I guess it was not meant to be. I make a few calls and round up a crew so I go home dejected. So I get up Tuesday morning and F@ck it I'm going fishing. So I load up the boat throw in some rods and head to the liquid gold station and put in $300 and head to the island. I was a little apprehensive about heading out by myself with NOAA and most everyone else calling for 2-4's but buoy weather said about a foot ( my personal preference) so turn on the Garmin WX and it said from .8-1.8 out past Patroniuos sp? so off I go. It was probably closer to 2-2.5 out of ESE and I'm heading SW so it wasn't a bad ride and the further I got the calmer it got (see videos below). I hit up a couple of close in spots for live bait with any luck so I take my 3 lbs of pogies and squid and a hand full of jigs and head out deep for the rocks 50-60 miles out. Caught about 30 Red Snapper and 2 Red Groupers and still had bait when I got home :thumbsup:
Here are some pics and couple of vids, and pica from our trip a few weeks ago also.
Caught sh!t load of these
This is what you get when my wife starts taking non fishing pictures :grin:
Until the next trip, Lee
