Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Dave Taylor invited Terry Reelitz and myself to try to find some kingfish, and other various species.  We left Port Hudson Marina at about 7:30 in a complete fog, so bad one could not see the channel markers.  But we idled around at the mouth of the marina for about 15 minutes and decided to go for it.  We ran to 30′ where Dave & I had previously caught kings, but the difference was on that occasion we had or were able to catch some blue runners on site and today it wasn’t happening.  So we settled for grunts while trying for hogfish.  A couple hours of this, we went to another of Dave’s hot spots in 50′ where I managed a mango and two legal gags.  Terry managed 4 or 5 short gags and Dave had one short.  I also brought a short hogfish to the boat.  Terry and Dave were having a contest to see how many Toadfish they could boat.  When the bite slowed, we went to 52′ and marked a number of fish but nary a bite so we called it a day and left for home at 2:00, arriving back at 3:00 and had the fish and boat cleaned by 4:30.  Great day on the water, Thanks Dave
