Bryant, myself and our neighbors, Tricia and Edgar went fishing this past weekend. We took the boat offshore. Way offshore, I couldn't tell you exactly where we were but I know it was far because it took about 2 hours by boat to get out there. The weather was perfect, the gulf was calm and the trip was productive. This was the first oil rig we pulled up to.
I have to tell you, I did not fish too much this time because I was busy trying out my new camera. I took many, many more pics but could not put them all. So I am showing my favorites.
This was under the platform. I just love the colors.
This is a ladder going up onto the platform. We did not go onto the platform, we just tied up to it.
This is a big (pink) jellyfish. But you can hardly see it in the picture.
This was our (gross) bait, pogey.
We caught red snapper but had to throw them back because they are not in season right now.
We caught gray snapper aka mangrove snapper. We kept these, they are good to eat.
We caught sharks. Threw them back.
Then the catch of the day!!!! Tricia hooked a cobia. It was a struggle. Edgar, her husband had to help her. They fought if for about 15 minutes.
Bryant looked on in disbelief at how big this fish was.
It was huge!
They finally got in in the boat. (We did keep it and we did eat it)
The end of a great fishing trip.
The ride home was awesome. Slick calm seas.
This was a shrimp boat we saw along the way home.
Tricia is still talking about her "big" fish! It weighed 48 pounds and was taller than the girls.
The catch.
Have any fishing stories to share?
