I jumped aboard with the intention to re-plenish my Grunt filet inventory for our ‘Friday Night’ date night with my spouse. The planned menu was to consist of wine, flowers, and ‘fresh’ fish tacos. It was very comfortable seating on the boat with plenty of elbow room as the total fellow fishing mates only numbered about 25. The morning started off with a bang as the ‘breakfast sandwich’ was a killer treat as we motored out to the Gulf. I got a little nervous at our first drop, fishing started out very slow. The seas were flat calm, and it just did not seem like the water was moving even though the tide chart showed an aggressive tide. The second and third drops were not much better as the bite was really slow (even with shrimp) and those grunts caught were NOT taco sized. To this point, the only other highlight of the day after the ‘breakfast sandwich’ was the ‘cheeseburger’ we had for lunch! After about noon, although the water movement only improved slightly, the bite for Grunts did pick up a little but it was still tough sledding. I started sweating and figured I was gonna have to stop at Rusty Bellies Fish Market when we got back to the dock and throw those filets in the cooler. Low and behold about 1:00 PM, the ‘Hogfish Whisperer’ (Mike Spanhel) came to life and helped save my date night. Mike started nailing Hogfish, all in about 5 total with 2 measuring as keepers. The Grunt bite also picked up and the size started getting above 1 taco to almost 2 taco size. Mike created quite a buzz on the boat with his Hogfish results and helped save what turned out to be a pretty average day. The cool thing was we both got to walk-off the boat with-out cleaning any fish or swabbing the deck – that was worth it and ‘a good time was had by all’

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. | Our son James and family came to town for a few days from Las Vegas and I wanted to be sure he had some great fishing while he was here so I booked a trip with the Rajun Cajun. We headed out of Bayport at 7:30am on calm seas but as the day went on the winds were 14 to 15 mph. The Cajun lived up to his reputation and immediately took us to a Snook honey hole which proved to be one honey hole after another We ended catching and boating 12 snook and 12 keeper size redfish. We lost a lot of fish to cutoffs/breakoffs but we stayed busy reeling until around 1 pm when the wind really picked up. The wind wrecked the bite so we headed in. Many thanks to Capt. Dencil for a day James and I will remember for years to come. |

Seas were less than 1 foot, making the 50 mile super comfortable. We spent the day drifting but we didn’t cover much area because of the lack of wind. The catch included a mix of Red Grouper, Mangrove, Lane and Vermillion Snapper, Lesser Amberjack and assorted other reef fish. Needless to say, the ride out and back was great. |

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. | We departed the Anclote boat ramp at 8am. The weather could not have been any better – warm, sunny, light breeze and calm water. Could not have asked for a better day of fishing. We landed dozens of keeper-sized trout, a few snook (including my 33-inch fighter and a few larger ones that got away) and one nice redfish to complete Bob’s inshore slam. Back at the dock by noon with lots of fishing stories and great memories. |

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. | We had a calm day so we went 50 to fish red grouper the ride was flat and big pods of bait all the way out with flying fish mixed in the first drift produced a lot of throwbacks and numerous ars but the keeper grouper were slow coming I think it was the tide and wind was minimal so we weren’t covering much area but we managed to get 5 red grouper and 9 mangrove snapper along with two lanes we called it quits and headed home at 1:30 fun day fishing with friends. |

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report fill out the box below also. | After much discussion over the weather we decided to go at 8am in the morning and the day was beautiful. We headed out at 35 knots so the 50 mile run was over quickly. the bite was on right away a lot of smaller size fish we released a few keepers and the day went on weren’t sure that was a good idea the fish were all undersize so we move to a different spot and started catching bigger fish. we limited out on red grouper , two ARS and a few lanes 1 mangrove. the bait of choice was threadfin with a couple fish caught on eels also Terry caught a huge nurse shark. It was a difficult day to drift fish because of a lot of current we had many tangled lines for Bonnie And Freddie to untangle, Bonnie can see them and Freddie uses the braille system. fun day we stuck with what works we kept drifting got our limit and headed to the barn. |
