Galveston Offshore 7-24-07

Always-Gone-Fishing (David) and my self took off from Galveston at around 06:30 and headed of to the SE. Well that turned out to be the wrong direction because thunder storms blew up on us all day. We did manage to make it out to a good snapper spot and pulled a quick limit of 21”-22”snapper with one Sow. Thunder storms blocked us from getting on out to the deep blue so we just started platform and buoy jumping to try and find some ling. Dave caught one but he was an inch to short. We did catch a bunch of ol king fish.We covered around 180 miles of water but never go more than 55 miles out because of the thunder storms. We still had a blast and the boat handled great in the chop.

Krissy and I got invited to go offshore with KMaryP and her Man, Keith in their 32’ Regulator. What an awesome boat! The first stop was a platform we were trolling by. About 300’ up-current the FF lit up like a Christmas tree so we put away the trolling lures and broke out our snapper stuff. About 20 minutes later we had a four man limit of solid 21”-24” snapper. With our snapper out of the way, we put the spread back out and trolled for a while with little action. The whole time Krissy and KMaryP were watching the rods, but after a while with no action, they went to the bow to work on something. That’s when a 25+ lbs blackfin nailed a lure (sorry for having to catch your fish KMaryP) We trolled around a few other wrecks without much luck so we decided to focus on kingfish. Krissy and KMaryP caught a few nice kingfish and we called it a day. Thanks Keith and KMaryP for the invite! It was a great time on an awesome boat.

Krissy with her 1st and 2nd ever Wahoo

Krissy, my boss (Richard) and myself headed out from the GYB (Galveston yacht basin) at about 07:00 to beautiful weather and seas. With the new two snapper limit we decided to make a long run to try a big fish spot which didn’t give up a single fish. There was a Rik Jacobson spot close by so we decided to give it a try. It took us about 45 minutes to limit out on 20”-22” snapper. Krissy caught four of those.With a full load of snapper before 10:30 we dropped a couple of lures in and started to troll the same spot. We ended up losing a Big dolphin, a nice AJ and a big ?. Krissy did end up boating a couple of schoolie Wahoo which was awesome because they were the first Wahoo that we had ever caught from our boat.On the way home we stopped at a weed line and picked up 7 or 10 chicken dolphin for fresh mahi tacos.The new boat ran great and we also got the opportunity to meet Marlintini back at the dock. Man what a nice ride he has and a nice guy to boot.
