| Wanted to share PART of a fun trip sunday. These guys were caught 25 miles offshore. At times we would have 5 hooked up a one time. There is no shortage of bull reds in the GOM. A very cold day to be offshore.Thanks Jody (corpsman) for taking the picture. Gene 

This was another part of the post that was left out last week. Jody these two pics are for you. 
we never know, but we always will go!!!
OLD GUYS RULE !!!!

IT WAS PRETTY COLD OUT THERE WITHOUT ANY SUNSHINE(WHICH THE WEATHER SAID WOULD BE OUT!! ) BUT THERE WAS ENOUGH STEADY ACTION TO KEEP YOU WARM. WAS CATCHING JACKS AT ONE TIME FAST ENOUGH TO SWEAT THROUGH 2 LAYWERS OF CLOTHS. ROB WAS CATCHING THEM ON BUTTERFLY JIGS 2 AT A TIME.NOT JUST ONCE,NOT EVEN TWICE, BUT 3 TIMES. WE WERE JUST OUT STRETCHING OUR ARMS AND LINES. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

| Great catch!!!!! I was able to get out yesterday also, and I was surprised when my partner C-Monsters pulled up a huge bull red. I would have never thought of those fish hanging out in 200 ft of water 20+ miles offshore.

great picture guys!...those redfish were definitely in spawning mode if they were that deep from what i've read. don't think we caught them that deep last year.

| Outstanding day with new friends. It was freaky seeing those reds way out in the gulf. They were fun. Finest meal i have ever had on a boat. Why is it that food always tastes better offshore? Try that with ribeye fresh off the grill! this crew is a well oiled machine.

It was good having you on the boat sunday. I hope you enjoyed yourself. I am sure your arms are alittle sore after this one. How did you like the taste of the scorpion grouper? Untill next time. Gene

GROUPAGROUPAGROUPA (2/9/2010) nice fish. just wondering if you guys keep these fish since yall caught them in federal waters. not tryin to rain on anybodys parade i just thought you couldnt harvast them in federal waters. anyways nice job like alwaysWe keep up with all the regulations all year long remember we are recreational guys we have limits, that don't make sense might i add, plus all reds were 35-45 inches all day to big to keep even if we wanted to . They were just a bycatch, dident target them in fact we moved twice just to get away from them. Thanks for your concern though but we have a clue out there on what is legal and what is not. Jody also wanted to thank you for going and enjoyed your company we will do it again.This trip was a fun trip for sure for me cause we set out to try to catch anything we just wanted to go fishing.I almost got spooled on the 10# power pro twice on big bonitas we were chumming up and the ever popular red snapper were alot of fun also .We had some big bites small bites and everything in between.All in all a fun day with friends and some fish for the grill. TIM

Freespool (2/10/2010) Were the redfish on one of yalls spots or did you see them? I have caught them bottom fishing this time of year before near the edgeOn the edge everywhere, The bottom machine would light up the lower 40foot with nothing but red blotchs for 100yards then dissapear then a little farther and it would light up again with the another school of them i don't know how many we caught but they would eat anything.

| I TALKED TO TURPIN TUESDAY NIGHT AND HE SAID THAT THEY ARE SPAWNING OUT THERE IN THE DEEPER WATER.I'VE ALWAYS HEARD THAT THEY SPAWN IN SHALLOW WATER SO THAT THE EGGS WILL GET PUSHED INTO MARSHES AND BAYOUS IN WINTER STORMS. I THINK THAT THERE ARE JUST TO MANY FOR THE NEAR SHORE AND BAYS FOOD SUPPLY TO SUPPORT THEM AND THE HAVE TO GO FARTHER OUT TO FIND ENOUGH FOOD. WHICH MEANS THEY ARE EATING WHERE THEY DON'T NORMALY FEED AND ARE EATING THE FOOD THAT THE REEF FISH NEED TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES,SO THEY HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO FEED.WHICH WOULD "HELP" EXPLAIN WHY WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE CATCHING FISH WHERE WE CAUGHT THEM A FEW WEEKS AGO. I DON'T THINK THAT EVEN THE COMMERCIAL GUYS COULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT MANY MINGOS IN THAT SHORT OF TIME WITH THE WEATHER BEING LIKE IT HAS BEEN THIS WINTER JUST ANOTHER CASE OF MISMANAGEMENT OF OUR FISHERY.

| Certainly knew about the regulations, and the redfish I caught with Gone Fishin Too was bycatch--actually caught on a tiny mingo rig I had been getting some lane snapper on. Did you guys have any luck releasing yours healthy? Despite venting, minimizing time out of water, and basically doing everything short of mouth to mouth for the damn fish, mine did not look like it was going to make it after release. I would hate to think Kim might have been out there taking pictures and putting me on some wall of shame...

With all these big bulls around do you guys think there would ever be a chance we could keep one over the slot? I know in Alabama they allow you to keep one over the slot. State waters of course.
