Wishing I was Fishing

Man, been a blowy June so far this year. At this rate we'll be lucky if we get 20 days of Red Snapper season in. We had a week of surf and rough seas since my last report and then 2 really nice days. Yesterday started out beautiful at daylight but the wind quickly started blowing hard and coming around from the North to the East as the sun came up. I caught a mess of live bait, came in and picked my folks up at 7:30 AM and told 'em we were going to fish fast. I hit 3 close in spots and we were back on the beach a little after 9 AM with a great catch, a pretty big following sea and all the other boats that had gone out back with us. {%image_id=27391%} Glad We Went ! The past few calm days had my anglers busy with some great catches. Plenty of Red Snappers around as well as a good show of gag Groupers(hopefully they will still be around after July 1st and the season opens )plenty of Amberines, Kings and even a few "bonus" fish as well. {%image_id=27389%} A Great Bonus Fish for a First Time Angler ! {%image_id=27387%} Gotta Let 'Em Go for 2 more weeks- {%image_id=27390%} Big Snappers and Big Smiles {%image_id=27386%} I put both the young gals on a rod together and they beat Dad ! {%image_id=27388%} Don't Yank-- Just Turn the Crank ! and this is what you get...... The weather forecast looks "iffy " for the rest of the week. I plan on having the boat ready and being on the beach at daylight tomorrow to see if it's worth going....even if it's a short trip Just be ready and go when it's safe ! Capt Larry Pentel Deadfish
